[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1162372, member: 31414"] The Carey/Hall team of 1997 and the Hoffa/Hall team of 2013 is significantly different for several reasons. Carey was a charismatic intelligent leader that had the ability to unify the rank and file, while Hoffa is simply a figurehead that lives in the shadow of his father. hall has experience and ability but is working with a less than ideal Union president. The weak leak in my opinion is therefore Hoffa.....not Hall. While comparing the "two teams" above, it is only fair to point out that UPS is a very different company now when compared to 1997. We are a publicly traded company that is no longer guided by the business principles of Jim Casey. Management and hourly alike are now treated as liabilities rather than assets and partners of the company. The IBT continues to struggle with membership , right to work states continue to increase, pension funds continue to face difficult financial times, etc.. Plain and simple, the Carey/Hall slate of 97 had a few more bargaining chips on their side of the table than does the Hoffa/Hall slate of 2013. Regardless, Carey was simply a better leader IMHO...
