There are several threads in this forum that discuss the possibility of a strike action against UPS. All things considered, I would like to suggest once again that there are more SECURE and EFFECTIVE ways to get our point across to Atlanta that should first be considered before we consider a strike. Force is no longer the only attribute you must have to be successful in today's modern society, you must also be smarter than your "opponent". In this case, we do not want to "kill" our "opponent", we simple want to make him understand and compromise on issues that will ultimately benefit us both......
If contract negotiations fail and the IBT needs our support, I suggest that we first implement a "Brown-Out". A form of this Union work action was used in the 1936 Akron Rubber "sit down" against Goodyear. Akron Rubber Strike of 1936 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . This secure form of work action can be combined with an effective PR campaign that once again focuses on the low paid, part-time work force of UPS.
Remember, UPS is a SERVICE related business and cannot ship your jobs to China, Mexico, etc....
