[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 355858"] Mike, The Union, or the fired drivers, would file an Unfair Labor Practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board. It's illegal to fire someone for legitimate union activity. The NLRB's website is here . . . [url]http://www.nlrb.gov[/url] Route Owners could afford to match "the big union bucks" that the mighty, mighty Teamsters have negotiated for its UPS drivers. Although some packages are picked up and delivered by drivers making over $28 per hour, many packages are not. Not any more. Not like the old days. Think of all the drivers still in progression getting as little as $14.70. And how many of them will be replaced with other new hires, who in turn will be replaced by more new hires, etc. thus delaying the achievment of Top Rate for many years.
