[PEN-L:11794] UPS Strike

[Michael Eisenscher <meisenscher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I personally want to thank you for helping the Teamsters keep the public
informed about the issues.  I have personally told "many a citizen" about the
issues other than the raises.  I am a part-time worker at a center in
Southeastern Michigan.  As of Friday the 22 of August, our center was shut down
until the end of the strike.  They moved every package car, center computer,
and I wouldn't be surprised if they took the toliet with them too, to a local
hub that is almost 50 miles away.  They are now delivering the packages from
here.

However, what I find amusing, are the safety rules which we must follow to keep
our jobs are being broken right and left by the managers.  Safety issues such
as bulk head doors being open, pre-tripping the vehical before leaving with it,
using turning signals, parking and even the use of seat belts are all being
tossed along the way side, just to mention a few!

Thanks for your support and its really good to know that their are people out
there that are taking a stand for us!!

Take Care and God Bless!
Scott A. Holtz

P.S.  I'm taking a copy of this to the picket lines that I attend!  Hopefully
more people will write to you and tell you other stories from the picket lines!
