[QUOTE="ups_vette, post: 57150"] In 1967 Philadelphia Teamster Local and UPS could not agree on a new contract. Bill Herlihy was the District Manager at the time and told the Union to accept the final offer or UPS will close and embargo the city of Philadelphia. The Union refused and UPS closed up shop in the city of Philadelphia and all areas covered by Teamster Local 107. The International Teamster bylaws stated if a Teamster represented company went out of business and stayed out for a period of three years or more, the company had no legal obligation to recognize the Teammsters as the barganing agent for the employees. Three years after UPS closed Philadelphia, Bill Herlihy, who was now the Region Manager, re-opened Philadelphia's UPS operation as a NON UNION company. The Teamsters went to court to be recognized as the bargaining agent, but the courts ruled in favor of UPS and determined UPS was NOT represented by Teamster Local 107. UPS hired mostly new workers, with a hand full of former employess. A year later the new employees voted for Teamster representation and established a UPS only Teamster Local. I was a driver in another Center in the East Pa District at the time of the embargo. I was a Center Manager when UPS RE-OPENED Philadelphia and assisted in the training of new drivers. [/QUOTE]
