Freightpuppy--I know you are coming from a good place and are just encouraging others to watch out for the good of the group, but you are taking it too far. Your opinions smack of socialism/communism. If someone doesn't participate that does not make them greedy. They have no duty to justify to you, me or anyone else how much they give, if at all. I really feel sorry for you if you think 1 out of 3 pilots at UPS is a greedy pig.
Unfortunately, the words used to describe certain members of our group have been skewed. I believe the frustration that exists is not based in a sense of entitlement, preference for socialism, or communism but rather, 30% feel no
responsibility. There is no reason for anyone to freely contribute their earned wage or sacrifice sick-leave except responsibility to the greater-good and the appearance, at least, of a solidified union. Having written this, there is always that "10%" or 30% in this case.
