You must really live in a wonderful place. Everyone where you work is happy and loves Conway, you've got the greatest health insurance, and there are no meth addicts in your part of the great state of Texas. Am sure there is more you are not telling us but you may want to think about keeping all of that a secret.

Fun? At the expense of others livelihood, retirement, and the health of their families? You are a complete A-hole to trivialize these very serious life issues.
Go away.

Look at what the Teamsters are doing for their people at this local, go Teamstas!

You damn right I can take jabs at the unions, for I am paying union dues to a local that cares nothing about it's members.
Our Terminal took up a petition to dump our steward with over 90 percent signing the petition, our B.A. refused to let us have a election, the steward has been in for 3 years and has done nothing to better anyone other than himself.
We took up a petition to change locals with 90 percent signing the petition only to be told " you are in our region, sorry"
After all the support we received from our local, we decided to cancel our drive contributions within a month we all received a letter from the b.a. that our dues have now gone up to 3 times our hourly wage and we are also being forced to pay into the ohio strike fund...whats this? ohio is 500 miles from us.
The next step will be decertification, I wonder if that will get hoffas attention, U.P.S. Freight Terminals decertifying.
With all our local has done for us, why not?

You guys really shouldn't be putting your dirty laundry out there.. if you have financial or personal problems, don't blame me.. that's YOUR problem. I go to message boards to talk and chat.. i don't divulge my personal financial troubles.
 
I feel like I hear a pesky nat buzzing around my head. I swat at it, miss, swat again, and it just won't go away.

Or maybe the problem is more widespread than we know. Point is, people thinking about certifying the Teamsters have a right to know not just the good stuff, but the bad stuff as well. You guys want to put out the good stuff, I want to put out the bad stuff. Try not to get your panties in a bunch.

You want balance? To be fair, you got any dirt on Conway?

I've got some good stuff, like decent equipment that is well maintained. Mostly good facilities. Communication is consistent. They are making serious inroads to engage employees. Considering the volume and complexity, linehaul seems to do a good job. Managers really are accessible. Rarely over the many years have I been treated with disrespect in one on one interactions and when I was, I took care of it right then and there. Handhelds are a good thing.

Huh? Do I sense sarcassim?
 
Nope, really. These are some things that Conway does well. You've never heard me complain about anything accept the steady and systematic loss of compensation (pension, vacation, health, etc) and the lying while here. Much of what happens at Conway does not matter to me. But, when peeps have been burned as bad as we have, it is easy to find fault with everything.

Don't take this out of context. There is room for improvement in most of what we do, but we are not bad at it. My point to the zealot that wants balance is that he should show us how it's done.

A union can't and won't give you all of that. Good luck on the OT. No chance on eliminating sub-service. Sure you will get some job protection but saftey violations ( the bucket list ) will still get you fired. Everything would be negotiated. If you want better health care. It will cost you wages. The more wages you make. The more benefits it will cost you. You don't get to make demands. You get to bargain.
