[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 201026, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]The facts are that your union walked. UPS has no reason to lock anyone out because they don't make money locking anyone out. They make it and maintain their competitive advantage by not locking anyone out. UPS has never locked anyone out therefore that threat rings hollow. Clearly the fight back then was a wasted effort or you would not be fighting to put a different union in charge now.
