Union pension stays the same even when 401k's crash. How many older workers at Conway are going to have to work many more years to rebuild their 401k? MOST, especially since they basically lost their pension a few years back.

Go Union, have a brothehood

Stay non union and have horrible working conditions

If after loosing all the Brothers and Sisters of U.P.S. you think your pension rates are not going to change for the worse you had better pull your head out of the sand!

NO, the Union has very little to offer any more, the power is gone, just one big party now at the members cost, very sad for all of us.

The power is NOT gone. The power is growing. Daily. More and more workers are choosing union representation, not only in the transportation industry. We have at least two or three new companies come on board every month. You guys want to stay in a state of denial, by listening to your companies anti-union rhetoric, that's your prerogative.

Sounds like the same babbling big talk that so many said where I worked when we organized it. It was real fun to watch them eat their words when it was voted in. Not one of them gutless company left.
