[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 81540"] I attended my local union meeting this past weekend at which our president announced that indeed UPS has approached the IBT about opening the contract early. This makes sense to me because of UPS's heavy involvment in the 2008 summer Olympics. They are in July of 2008. I can't imagine UPS having a contract hanging over it's head while advertsing to the world. You can hear FedEx and DHL licking their chops. Also IMHO I see both the pilots and the new freight division being part of this whole scenario. I gotta belive UPS would love to have all these contracts run together so they expire at the same time. Part of the new contract will be the organizing of the freight divsion into Teamsters. I just don't see a strike. Just too much money to be lost by both sides. I don't care how sucessful PAS and EDD is. You just don't replace who knows how many people at the drop of a hat. Heck we have trouble hiring people at our building now. And there's no question UPS is the last Teamster cash cow. Without UPS they're history. There's not one issue that can't be solved. To me, whether they like it or not, both sides need each other.
