So you "IBT804HAMMER" consider William R a great man for degrading members in our local. I know you are just protecting him, for your own selfish reasons, as you may not know, William was involved with the safety committee himself before he took office, working real close to management, he has also been known as the biggest brown noise of all. He was in management’s pocket, with no morals and thought only of himself. You can twist this around all you want but that is the truth, as I am always 99% correct when I post information.
The fact now, that he is in office, he may think he is better than other members, perhaps he thinks he's a changed man who can judge others, a man who can determine who has morals in our local and who has none, a man who can call certain members RATS, and degrade others with foul words at a membership meeting. You can look up to this man all you want because you are no better.
The other Board members allowed this to happen standing right next to him, and they are to be considered no better. Singling out certain members and putting them in a classified field with a label is dead wrong, no matter what. And to top it off, it’s done at our union meeting. They talked and campaigned on getting every member Respect and Dignity from UPS, which we deserve, meanwhile they disrespect and undignified Local 804 teamster members that elected them to there positions.
This new structure of safety committee has a few objectives and only benefits the board and UPS not the members,
1. Saving UPS money by eliminating overtime pay to local 804 Teamsters, UPS can now max out these drivers stops, which would reduce the Teamster jobs and save UPS even more money.
2. would allow the board to hand pick their supporters as a reward by using their judgment system to pick committee members, resulting in favoritism to certain members, certain members in there group, perhaps those loyal only to them
3. Saving UPS more money on Safety training which is being paid by our local, when by law UPS is required to provide OSHA training and safety training to all employees, The Board acts like they are tough and strong, by pulling the current safety committee as a sign great leadership which would benefit the members and weaken UPS, but turn around and provide their own safety courses and OSHA training, giving UPS no reason to change their ways, UPS is getting the best deal here.
Since the committee has been pulled we have been bombarded with safety reviews of the 5 points, 10 keys and so on. At the meeting William R says **** UPS, you are not required to sign anything, Its easy for a short man to talk tough into a mic, but not once has any board member stepped in during our PCM's and Told us in front of management we don’t have to sign anything, Not once has our BA told management anything to give us hope. Why because they are afraid, perhaps afraid management will embarrassed them in front of the members, afraid management will throw them out of the PCM, afraid to stand up for the members.
I would like to see William R grow a pair; he says you can’t measure courage in inches at the meeting and acted like a tough guy. Not once have they been there to back us, they only show up at parking lots and union meeting, form bogus marches and hide behind the members. Even after they protest, they just leave, don’t even walk into the building to thank everyone for their support. They drive away with their blow up doll, while UPS takes it out on the members. I wonder sometimes if our Board and UPS are working together on this.
Our Board says that UPS blames the members , Yet they turn around and do the same at our Union meeting, a management move, a union busting move, then act out some building marches to cover up the deal to show like they are doing something about it, in return, they let UPS put fear in the membership, threating our jobs every day, because of the weak a presence and weak representation of our Board.
You put up a good campaign and fooled me Tim, I may even be the one that handed out your flyers, but no more, no more of you clowns, we have lost many good teamsters at your expense because of your lies, I have seen a lot of good lunch buddies get walked out, walked out because you let UPS take advantage of your weakness and they were able to clean house, even if a few get there job back, it’s an ordeal that they should have not of experienced. WHEN WILL YOU DELIVER - It was a MISTAKEVOTING4THISEBOARD
