I worked for ups before I got hired at the PO a little more than 20 yrs ago... Loading feeders(trailers) on the overnight shift and also pre-loading (delivery) trucks in the AM... I don't remember nearly the disregard for other people's parcels that I see now... Not to mention the awful attitude of many of my coworkers... Twenty years I've been listening to "slow down, or there goes our overtime", "slow down, your killing the job", "what's the rush, it's only mail" etc.. Guess what a#$%&%!s, you've all but killed all of our jobs now. I've never had problems with any supervisors there, quite the contrary actually. They do a pretty fair job considering what they have to work with. Yeah, I guess you could say I'm disgruntled, just not for the reasons you usually hear... Hi Ratty. :-P Keep "protecting your route" buddy... I'll see you in line someday!

This is the typical Union mentality, regardless of the field. Refreshing to hear from someone that's a part of one and is sickened by it.
