How about Fitzpatrick having a picnic the same day as the board. What is that all about? I thought the board paid Fitzpatrick with our Unions dues for almost a year. I guess Fitzpatrick has had it with them too.
I guess once Tim, Jim and O'neil put there feed bags on, nothing will be left. Anyone notice the size of O'neil head. That head is bigger then his gut.

Who wants to make a bet their site will be updated Monday morning on how the picnic went. They certainly are on top of the site these days. I am following it. But too bad they are not on top of saving a job! Heard about another one fired! 
Like I have written before, this current board has a record to defend. I have defended most of that record. Just because Tony's or Bill's pals come on here and bitch and moan doesnt mean there is a groundswell against this board. Members are angry but they are angry at UPS . They dont blame the union. Donato and Buhlert both have a record too. And their type of leadership was rejected by us once so far!! This election will not be a referendum on the current board. The election will be a choice between the current board that is implementing their promises and policies and two slates that are filled with old board members trying to get their old jobs back. Voting against Tim's slate (Members United) means voting for the failed policies of Donato and Buhlert. Voting for Donato and Buhlert means rewarding them for screwing up our Health and Welfare, negotiating weak concessionary contracts, backing Hoffa, making backroom deals behind our backs,etc. They for some reason think we forgot all this: their records!! LOL, like I said before, things arent perfect but a
load better than under Row A!!There were more than 300 people at the picnic. ANd guess who was also there smart guy?? Fitzpatrick was there. OOPPS. He stayed awhile then went to his center's picnic. Actually Fitzpatrick chose this date before our local chose the date. Hey cafe tough guy, if you werent sitting in front of your computer , you could have come to the UNION picnic and seen all this yourself!!
More clueless blather. For your information Obrien couldnt make it to the picnic. As for the comments on his head, grow up!!While you are at it, wake up!! There is more passion,brains, and commitment in that guy than Donato, Buhlert and Guarella put together!!

Dont be to sure I was sitting by my computer ! You have no Idea were I was. If you knew everyting like you claim you do you would realize people use phones today! You also would hear how the members feel about your board.! I have said this before Open your eyes and your ears and stop drinking the Kool aide. You are crying about the same tune! Its getting old...... Let the member's jobs be secure with good job representation which this board is not capable of , so they can have the Health and Welfare!!!!!
Tony, do you remember how the members told you guys back in 2009 how they were going to vote for you guys?? LOL!! We shook your hands and smiled as you stuck Row A stickers on us. You and Howie and Billy and Angelo all bought how we told you what you wanted to hear. Then we got our ballots and voted you all out. FOR GOOD!! Its over Tony!!Dont be to sure I was sitting by my computer ! You have no Idea were I was. If you knew everyting like you claim you do you would realize people use phones today!

You have come out of the closet.
This is probably the first time you have posted the truth and shows your true character !!!!!!
What exactly, You keep mentioning health and welfare. Well wake theLike I have written before, this current board has a record to defend. I have defended most of that record. Just because Tony's or Bill's pals come on here and bitch and moan doesnt mean there is a groundswell against this board. Members are angry but they are angry at UPS . They dont blame the union.

LOL, like I said before, things arent perfect but a
up, that money is to be used on the members and their family. your not to save that money. UPS puts money back into it every year, that is how it works. Now that fat boy and his morons set a precedent on co-pay guess what genius, WE PAY!!!!!!!!Had enough

I'll be happy to relay the message to Tony! But you can't possibly think people still want your board?
1. Absolutely!! We have MORE representation now that show up several times a week.
-Really Where? Have you seen M. Holmes?
How do you expect me to in trust your group (e/b) to fix or get a better contract then we have when Tim S is not even available to fix M. Holmes!?. This is not a game my friend!! Peoples' lives are at stake, and I don't think you guys are up to the task!! UPS is years ahead of you!!
*Anyway, tell me how you guys did with the outside shops contracts...?
2.Bankrupting of our heath and welfare funds.
-You Kidding me, right?
Every time I go to the doctor, it cost me $60 to $100... It was just to be $10 for every visit!!! Anyway, this shows how clueless you are on how to negotiate a contract!! IF we needed more money, we should of just gotten it now under this contract. The unions' priority should always be to take care of the members first!! something that this e/b lacks.
**Don't... again DO NOT mention Bankrupt unless you want me to bring other things to light!!
3.Howie and Donato and Buhlert spent over a decade allowing our once strong union to come apart.
- So what were Tim and Pete doing back then?
Should I refresh your memory?! Well, these two unifiers were always working against the best interest of the local in order to advance their selves' interests, AND THOSE ARE THE FACTS!! Tim... Pete... you should be ashamed of yourselves!! And that is why it makes me sick hearing Tim asking for unity!!
4.defend this weak, sellout contract.
-Have any of you taken the time to read other supplementals across the country?
A lot of the languages you complain about comes from the international portion in which you haven't been invited to... so, explain exactly how you would fix it? Our supplemental is one of the best out there and you know it!! You guys are very incompetent!! This local has more NLRB charges against it in two and a half years than the ten previous years!!

Taste of Victory at Corporate Coffee
Members at Corporate Coffee win a new contract that raises wages and protects workers from unfair discipline.
Local 804 members at Corporate Coffee are used to repairing coffee machines for a living. But this Spring, they came together to fix up their contract.
Members stuck together and won a three-year contract that delivered pay increases for every 804 Teamster at the company—and an extra raise for the lowest paid workers.
The contract includes a boot allowance for the first time ever and stronger contract language to protect members from unfair discipline.
"We won a boot allowance, raises for the next three years, and pay increases that will help close the wage gap."

New Contract Protects Members Pensions
Local 804 members at Eppendorf Services stuck together and won a strong contract that protects their pension.
Members at Eppendorf Services, Inc. perform the skilled repair of medical laboratory equipment.
When they entered contract talks, pensions were the number one issue. Members at Eppendorf are covered by a separate Pension Fund than members at UPS.
“Our pension fund was in the Red Zone. There are more retirees taking benefits out than money going in. In negotiations, the union did everything to make sure our pensions are protected. Under the new contract, the company has to contribute a lot more on our behalf,” said shop steward Matt Classie.
Members won a 34 percent increase in pension contributions from the company in the first year of their new contract, and a 24 percent increase in the second—enough to maintain members’ benefits.
