[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 243386, member: 8657"] We have shareholders now that we need to impress, which we didn't have to worry about in '77 or '97. (I was lucky enough to witness both). And I know that few of us are crazy about the fact that the company has gone public, but now that it has, maybe the company and the union won't be playing their usual game of chicken until the last minute like usual in their negotiations. Shareholders wouldn't like to see UPS lose millions a day if they're out on strike. What did we lose last time? 600 mil or so? And would these same shareholders be proud of a company that screws up the transport of goods all over the country? August! What a perfect time to strike! Just in time for schools all over the country to receive their books and curriculums! Or not.... And also when flu and other vaccines are delivered. In '97, God knows how many measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis and pet vaccines were returned because they sat in the system and expired in the heat. I remember getting irate calls from the companies who lost a fortune on these products and I heard all about the patients who weren't treated. NAAHH, I doubt if we want any more bad publicity now that the stockholders seem to be calling the shots. [/QUOTE]
