I agree with you timeline and facts, I've been here since the beginning as well. The way it was explained to us at the time, the IPA made an argument that we were not the bargaining unit for "Fleet Supervisors" at the time, therefore we were exempt from the lawsuit that Dorsey and 177RG filed against UPS and the IPA. While this decision may have mitigating issues pertaining to the organization of the FQS, it was not the original intent of our argument. The sole purpose of the IPA's position at the time was in defense of the above mentioned lawsuit.
The Dorsey case was about wrongful termination of employment. The IPA was not a party.
The original EB of the IPA cut a deal with the company back in the early days wherein they agreed to not to represent the FQSs.
