[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 1020864, member: 18044"] How replaceable are we? Well, first of all, we have a legal right to strike so long as we otherwise comply with the Law. That means we can't be fired just for going on strike. If the strike is an [B]Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) Strike[/B], UPS can hire [U]temporary[/U] replacement workers, but the replacements must be fired when the strike is over. Since the temps know this, there is little incentive for them to sign on in the first place. If the strike is an [B]Economic Strike[/B], meaning just over money, UPS can hire [U]permanent[/U] replacement workers, who can keep their jobs after the strike is over. The previously striking workers can have their jobs back if there are any vacancies and as the replacements quit or are fired for being unacceptable workers. Life is very difficult for replacement workers (aka scabs.) All the more if UPS is their new employer. [/QUOTE]
