[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 700121, member: 12570"] To be perfectly honest I am frustrated that a group numbering less than 1000 is poised to disrupt the lives of a group numbering over 200,000 in a time when the economy does not support a strike nor will public sentiment support a strike. This is not 1997 when we had public support for our work stoppage. This is also a group of employees that makes a damn good living ($43/hr straight time) who are being offered small pay raises while also being asked to begin paying for a portion of their healthcare costs which I don't think is too much to ask. You guys are not being realistic. airbus, I don't like you either but that has no bearing on my opinion. As for you and the boys talking about me, I couldn't care less. I didn't support the strike in '97 and I won't support one now. I worked construction the 10 days that we were out. I made $253 for 46 of the hardest hours I had worked in a long time. My boss on that job asked me how much I would have made had I worked those hours at UPS and my answer floored him. We are all well compensated for what we do. At what point is it enough? [/QUOTE]
