[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1118044, member: 14668"] In the final analysis, Hoffa/Hall can [I]only[/I] negotiate an agreement that [I]they think we will strike over. [/I]The company will only [I]pay [/I]us what we are willing to strike for. There are 250,000+ Teamsters who will be covered by the agreement. [I]Accurately[/I] judging how many of them are willing to strike indefinately is more of an art than a science. Trying to negotiate an agreement that adequately meets the needs of all 250,000 of those people is [I]also[/I] more of an art than a science. If you think that negotiating a labor agreement is simply a matter of talking tough at the table, then you should take your superior bargaining skills to Fed Ex, Wal Mart or McDonalds and put those skills to work negotiating your [I]own[/I] labor agreement with them. Let us know how that works for ya. Otherwise, you might as well accept the fact that [I]any[/I] agreement that is made with UPS on behalf of 250,000 people will [I]not[/I] make every one of those people happy. [/QUOTE]
