[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5636038, member: 58386"] What is of upmost importance of the IBT and labor unions in general is to preserve it's ability to continue to set the market for the labor in their sectors of the economy. In order to protect the rich GOP's publicly stated policy initiative is to raise the Medicare retirement age to age 70 and has long campaigned to raise the SS full retirement age to 70 including raising early retirement from 62 to several years higher making the working class work longer, harder and later in life but never asking the rich to do anything but to drive and even larger income gap between the classes . This morning it's my understanding that talks between UPS and IBT have broken off. It is the usual posturing you see during such events. If it comes down to push vs shove I hope the IBT membership is fully prepared not just verbally prepared but FULLY prepared both economically and psychologically for a long and bloody fight. Now if the public comes out on the side of IBT then afterward the IBT must be willing to go outside it's market sector and materially participate in efforts to organize workers as part of an overall campaign to stop the erosion of earning power of your everyday blue collar worker.
