[QUOTE="hembone, post: 864613, member: 35718"] Maybe I look at things from a narrow point of view, the part-timers could probally make a good case, but when I left UPS I was making almost 30.00 dollars an hour, had 8 weeks off a year, could get almost any day off I wanted, had good health insurance, and a great retirement. I don't think the average American worker is going to feel too sorry for me. I will say this for Ron Carey, and I've never been a big Carey man, but he did pull off a great strike. He made us look like the "good guys" and UPS like the "bad guys". I once read that a higher-up UPS offical said "if we knew we were going up against part-time America we would have handled this strike differently. We thought we were going up against the Teamsters". Carey's catch phrase " Part-time America won't work" caught on. Believe me UPS will not be caught with their pants down like that again, and I think Hoffa and hall know it. [/QUOTE]
