[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1571899, member: 12570"] I spent the first day on the picket line and quickly realized that $55/week wasn't going to pay the bills so I got a job working construction. I worked 46 of the hardest hours I had worked in a long time and brought home the grand total of $253. When I told my boss how much I would have made at UPS for those same 46 hours he couldn't believe it. I remember we got one check for $55 and then had to pay union dues for two weeks in a row to get caught up. The atmosphere in our building changed after the strike. There was no animosity but there was a definite difference in the way mgt and hourlies interacted. [/QUOTE]
