[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 903363, member: 17969"] First of all, RON has spent a TON of time with our local. The EBOARD, which I was a part of, voted to increase his salary based upon his efforts and energy. RON does not give himself anything without the approval of his EBOARD. RON has been a major part of the union movement all across this country at a great personal sacrifice to his own family. Whether you like it or not, a guy like RON who invests himself into the union movement to a degree where he hardly has any personal time to himself, deserves all he makes. Our local is well funded and well invested. Our cash position is probably the best in the country, and without seeing the other locals books, I can only guess at that. AS for our drivers, myself included. Yes, we are working a ton of hours, and we dont like it, but its not something that we can fix at the local level. The company has a plan to cut drivers and increase workloads and it will have to be RE ADDRESSED at the next negotiations. We are in peak now, so hours are what they are. If the company is dumb enough to pay us 100K for package work, then well take it. Maybe you live in a social level where 40K is good enough, but thats not Los Angeles. We take the money and run. We file our grievances during non peak periods and get paid. Our locals fiscal issues are well managed and invested wisely. We dont have the constant turmoil that plagues 804. Its all about name calling and useless charges. You all need to clean house, and rid yourselves of the turmoil of 804 for one simple reason. IF YOU DONT RESPECT EACH OTHER, HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE COMPANY TO RESPECT YOU! Heres a clue, stop worrying about other locals and focus on respecting one another and learn to stand by the side of whoever is in charge. DONT MAKE IT WORSE. You call Ron a "hand picked" Hoffa selection, but how otherwise was Hoffa to make a selection? Pick a name out of a hat? Dont be foolish. Be smart. Shut up. Peace. [/QUOTE]
