[QUOTE="newfie, post: 5460261, member: 58700"] the clinton administration still intervened behind closed doors. Alexis herman the labor secretary sat in on the negotiations and one point threatened UPS with a flurry of regulatory actions if these negotiations didnt get settled. not sure if they strong armed Carey at all but shortly after the strike they announced the investigation into his financial activities. so while you are correct that legally the government can not force you back they have intervened in other ways in the one strike UPS had. not sure if they would do so this time. the logistics networks present now have increased their ability to absorb ups volume this time where there was no way they could do so in 97. amazon has been building a network and looking to compete with ups . fdx has been faltering and would probably love to be able to cherry pick the highly profitable ups volume they would take. personally I'm glad I'm gone. I think a strike would be a suicide pact with the competition UPS now faces. I hope I'm wrong I still have some fondness for the company i used to work for. [/QUOTE]
