[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 622101, member: 16651"] UPSGuy72; In the sense of two parties voluntarily coming together to reach an agreement, with mutual consideration on both sides, I'm not sure that many purists would consider the Teamsters "agreement" with UPS a true "contract"; rather, it's a form of coercion dictated by highly politicized law. If you think of it in those terms, perhaps you would realize why mgmt might not give quite the same consideration to it as you do; they don't see it as something they AGREED to at all; rather, it was something that was IMPOSED on them by outside forces....and there isn't quite the moral imperative to adhere to it that there might be with a true "contract". That said, one can't help but think how attitudes like yours and "altstewie"'s here have helped the union movement - and the Teamsters specifically! - to "grow" in their base industry over these last few decades. No wonder that they're known as the most cost-effective, efficient labor option....and why company after company has been stumbling all over themselves RUSHING to employ them! [/QUOTE]
