[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1571725, member: 7966"] My take: - Officially, Ron Carey said it was about more full-time jobs created from part-time jobs. - Officially, UPS said it was about pressure from UPS to fix the overall UPS Package Driver pension issues associated with Union graft and the spectre of UPS being the lone employer supporting a multi-employer Union pension funds. - What it really was about was Ron Carey had been screwed over (in his mind) by UPS and specifically the CEO of UPS at the time of the strike. The scuttlebutt was that Carey bragged he was going to make UPS and the CEO pay for screwing him over. What happened with Ron Carey is that when he was a driver in NYC, he would pull up to the NYC of an apartment building and everyone would come out and get their packages and he would sheet them as separate stops. He did this for many years and had his customers trained to not do this when someone was riding with him. At some point, this savvy "padding" of his allowance was found out and factored into his route's time study and he lost something like 3 hours planned time. [/QUOTE]
