Are you serious? Why did he get fired? He got fired because Tony D sent him down the river, refused to testify regarding production standards, and set a precedent across the country regarding such standards. Every driver knows that there are variables that effect each day's production. UPS knows the same damn thing! And Tony Dee Dope knew the same damn thing, but he chose to ignore it! There has not been a Teamster Officer in the country who has not challenged production standards in an arbitration hearing until Tony Dee! Not one! But Tony made that choice because he felt threatened by a strong Steward who stood up for the members. No surprise that Ron thought that Tony was incompetent!
As a BA, Liam has proven himself time and again. From standing up to UPS to negotiating outside contracts, Liam has done it all. Tim should be applauded for bringing Liam on board!
As to your reference to ARTICLE 37. Section 1, I'm just not the least bit surprised that you would hop up on the UPS side of "a fair day's work for a fair day's pay.
I'm not a member of the Executive Board...and I'm not an employee of Local 804...I don't need your vote...so I feel very comfortable telling you that you're an idiot!
1. Ask Pete if he testifies at any of his arbitration hearings. Does he? NO!!! He is even telling members to resign before they get fired so the member doesn't get an arbitration hearing!!
2. Talking about setting a precedent across the country, what are you gonna say about what happened in Melville??! Not only does it set a big precedent, but how much treasure did it cost to our local?? 50 plus drivers suspended no pension contribution, health care contribution and jokes around the country for this major friend$%# up. What happened with Dave Oringer?? Did he at list apologize to the membership?? NO!! Thats Tim Boy if that had happen under H. Redmond!! Tim would have been all over it!! What a hypocrite!
3. S
tanding up to UPS to negotiating outside contracts... yeah that is why there are alot of part timers working as helpers all over this local, and not getting paid the right rate!! There are more sups working than ever before....... What are Tim and Pete doing?? NOTHING!!
Grow up and be realistic to either side!! When something is wrong, it is wrong no matter who does it!!
