When UPS first started out, they had the Teamsters as their union. I was there then and don't remember the Teamsters doing anything of value for our crew force, except maybe taking our dues monies. Ask some of the other old time UPS'ers, I'm sure they could explain it better than I, as I was only there for a year, but during that time, we voted out the Teamsters and voted in IPA. A very good thing.
