Teamsters outside UPS are fed up too. “Morale is terrible here,” says Jimi Richards, a road driver for YRC Freight in Atlanta.

Since 2010, members working for YRC Worldwide have endured a 15 percent wage cut and a 75 percent reduction in the company’s contribution to their pensions—while executives continue to rake in the stock options and bonuses.

“Members were duped,” Richards says. “They lied and threatened, said ‘If we don’t get this passed, we’ll close the doors.’ Come to find out they made a profit in the fourth quarter.”

It'll be the last thing I do as an active Teamster. I might even try to get elected as a Delegate to the convention..........just to see the look on Junior's face when he realizes he's not invincible,....or even liked,......by many of his members. I already know of a few officers who say they'll be damned if they wear one of those "solidarity" vests the Hoffa team hands out at the convention. In case he doesn't know it,...a lot of us feel betrayed by the last few so-called contracts that were jammed down the member's throats.....That's ABF, YRC, UPSF, and UPS...........
 
Hall will rally his ups soldiers. That is the Teamsters that have to rid our union of hall and hoffa. We the freight Teamsters will vote against them but we need the ups Teamsters to do their duty and rid us of this useless garbage. Oh by the way they are killing my pension now and you can bet yours will be next ups.
YOUR BROTHER ALWAYS!

We at UPS are very irritated with The whole regime at "The Marbel Palace" as well. They have lost a ton of support from our side in the major markets and smaller ones as well. Hopefully they vote for a reasonable candidate
