Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Tell them you should live so long.
In exchange for what? Nationwide only 6% of all private sector workers are represented by a union contract. What's the mighty IBT going to do about that?.....Well....nothing. But you still expect the American public to "support" you nevertheless.

It's going to be pretty hard to deliver packages when nothing's going through the system
Answer this question. Just exactly how long do you think you could completely lock down the UPS network?
How many no paycheck weeks do you think will occur until the ranks start to break?
And besides, a UPS strike will not impact the other carriers network in any fashion. They'll just get awfully busy and given that most if not all are nonunion they will have a lot of flexibility.

People forget that without anyone picking up parcels, there is next to nothing in the system to be delivered.
Well we do have a strike fund so they'll be over $500 a week
Also our pilots will honor our picket line so no air freight will be coming in
Trust me I don't want to happen but if that's what it takes..

I think UPS takes it down to the wire then gets the deal done. They only thing they have left is to stall out as long as possible to appear as though they didn't give in too easily. If they decide to choose to let the strike happen, everything they invested in the healthcare sector will be gone right off the bat.
Right perhaps in the UPS system for awhile. But it will have zero effect on the operations of other carriers And with UPS only the third largest among 25 air cargo haulers there would appear to be little problem making other arrangements.
You can tell yourself whatever you want but there is not enough capacity to handle all of our volume.
They could not handle it in 1997 and our volume has went up dramatically since then.
Now that's enough of the Doom and gloom tomorrow is 4th of July enjoy your day my friend
Based on this morning's (Wed) news you might get your chance to prove your claim that the world stops dead in it's tracks when the box ox in brown stops.
The world won't stop but it will definitely slow down a lot
Ask any of the FedEx drivers that work during the 1997 strike

It was a nightmare in 97, there’s a lot more volume now. It will be absolute pandemonium.
