[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 86968, member: 4823"] I was, too. I'm still proud to say to say that I worked for UPS. UPS has a good public image. [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]In 05/83's TSG Workforce Reduction, [U]zero[/U] was the number of opportunities for those of us hired after October 1997. [FONT=Arial][FONT=Verdana]Thank you for letting us know you are against equality. I'm not clear about the quotes around "personal achievement" - in this context, it appears to be a euphemism for some sort of favoritism. [/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][/FONT]The only thing that counted in the TSG Workforce Reduction was seniority. Thank you for making it clear that you do not endorse the TSG Workforce Reduction, and never will. [FONT=Arial][/FONT]The not-save-your-jobs part is true. The only time I was a union employee (at a summer job, and not a Teamster), my net pay after union dues was equivalent to minumum wage, and I got to pay dues for the remainder of the month when I was laid off. Unions become big institutions, too. If I were still a TSG employee, I wouldn't put any effort into unionizing. I'd put my efforts into making myself more marketable.
