I know I'm not senior at UPS, but I pay the same percentage. Save my job, I don't need anymore dam# union pins from an airline I've been furloughed from.

But the banners, pins, and stickers make everyone else who is not furloughed feel better.

That may be true. Many feel bad for what is happening

any good ideas on how to spend the money differently? Do any furloughed guys care if the folks wear those pins?

Nope,,I don't wear mine and I don't care if the senior pilots wear theirs. Would rather see the time and money spent on something else.

Same goes for those plastic envelopes. All the union had to do was tell everyone to go and get some fedex envelopes. Free and sends a better message.
