[QUOTE="area43, post: 254411, member: 4862"] Dude!! D. LOL Hey great post. I absolutely agree . I did a little diggin in the ol archives. Remember Senior Geek. I just want to share one of his quotes in a early thread of mine. Here it goes. First, I wonder what ever happened to him. Ok, The Geek quote, "I'd say your are highly educated in UPS methods, practices and policies. That particular education won't be worth much money at another company, but it gives your work value for UPS". So UPSers what do you make of that quote. I will be brutally honest with you and myself. I am a pkg car driver of 19.5 years. We are nothing more than delivery boys. Yes, thats right I said it. We are compensated fairly. Stop your complaining. If you want more money go find another job. Folks, it's simple 6.1 billion dollars. What is so hard to understand about that? That must be factored into the 5 year contract. Pension and Health that was the main issue's on UPSer's minds. UPS and the Teamsters gave them to you. First the CS pension issue. That has now been addressed with the 6.1 billion dollar buy out. Having said that let me quote hall, "We launched early negotiations for the national contract a year ago after members made it clear that they wanted the union to focus on their PENSIONS and HEALTH care for retirees and active workers," said Hall, "This tentative agreement provides more funding for pensions and members' health care than any other UPS contract in HISTORY".
