[QUOTE="Freedom From Incompetence, post: 1047347, member: 44190"] does anybody really believe that the previous e/b members appointed and groomed by ron carey all of a sudden went rogue and forgot all the ethics and values that carey instilled in them and in us too? and then to accuse them of suddenly becoming reckless opportunists looking to become wealthy power brokers at the expense of the membership, shame on you! yeah u can show the video of carey being dissapointed that the old e/b endorsed hoffa in the last election, It was POLITICS, it gave us seats on the IBT negotiations commitee, and yeah when they came back with that ridiculous contract through no fault of their own they KNEW we would vote it down, they had to endorse it or be vulnerable to hoffas revenge, ITS POLITICS. look where endorsing Sandy no hope Pope got us, no voice at the table this contract negotiation, ITS POLITICS. the present e/b beats their chests over the present state of our health fund, yeah its improving because they shifted the onus for funding it onto the backs of the membership, it was a dream come true for UPS Inc. And as for the pension fund? Ever hear about this thing they call the STOCK MARKET & investment brokers? where the market was 10 years ago and the level its at NOW, of course the fund is in better shape now DUH! Is anyone more afraid of losing their job now as opposed to 3 years ago? I think they are. The smartest most proggresive LEADER we had on the old e/b was & still is Bill Buhlert (a carey appointee). I'm supporting the LEADERSHIP SLATE to save this local from this present e/b's inexperience and downright ineptitude of steering us over a cliff & playing right into UPS's hands [/QUOTE]
