Best you can do.... is just be there.
Curious as to why you would construe it as being a bribe? I’ve worked with many business agents. A few of them have been retired from UPS and some of them have been very close to retirement. Those guys got nothing to lose and aren’t afraid of management. Some of the ones that were newer, that had just went out to the Union hall struggled with labor and management because there’s always a chance they were coming back on car if they were voted out.
Either way they were eligible because they’re still on the seniority list. I don’t see how anyone would consider it a bribe. And if they’re not doing their job, vote them out. They will have no job to go back to.
Well the original offer for the second buyout the fine print said you had to be an active employee to be considered you couldn't be on leave or disability or FMLA yadayada. Then there's a secret negotiation between the international and the company where they come to an agreement nobody has ever seen and all of a sudden BAs are getting bought out. Its not hard to imagine some corrupt agreement that did nothing for the membership such as 'we will let you buy people out so long as you include officers of the union in your pool of candidates'.
I don't think it's like that but you know people talk shit and it's hard to say anything. The BAs that took the buyout here did get $150k from the company for basically nothing. They were never going to return from leave no matter what happened. Is there any economic benefit to clearing those guys off the books? Why would the company give away $150k for free?
It would just be better if they didn't take it cause then the members wouldn't be asking these kind of questions.

Not looking good. My Mother in law has been in the hospital for a couple of days she has Sepsis and is on life support. Prayers would be appreciated.
I am sorry to hear that brother. Your family is in my thoughts today.
