[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 368825, member: 11315"] I'm curious if UPS just keeps sliding the same contract the rest of us signed (with minor enhancements)? I know everyone in Chicago keeps saying that "We've always had our own contract" and "We have seen the faults of the master contract and won't accept them" I have 3 points on this: (1) Chicago keeps on using "we" when it should be "us". I know you have you're own contract, but this isn't the time to fight over what Hoffa screwed up on. I predict major labor problems at the end of this contract because Hoffa and his team will try to get back everything they lost on this one (if they are even reelected). Fighting for it all back today isn't a good idea. (2) Louisville is the keystone of the UPS national empire, not Chicago. I understand more volume goes through Chicago probably. I can see the argument that east meets west in the trainyards of Chicago. BUT all the money and all the revenue sweeps through their city on airplanes. If their local went on strike, that would cripple the company alot faster and harder than Chicago. (3) I can't see how your 2 locals can't sign the national contract and just have a supplement like other regions. I'm curious why UPS does it this way, or the reasoning behind it. (not accepting it's always been that way as an answer). I'm just making arguments and will enjoy reading the feedbacks. [/QUOTE]
