[QUOTE="upsgrunt, post: 209465, member: 9295"] I have to agree! Let's not be so eager to strike just to "stick it to the man". A strike should be a last ditch effort if all else fails because NO one wins in a strike. In 97 when we struck we ended up with the same raises and pretty much the same issues addressed as previous contracts-We always get pretty much the same promises, concessions, and raises every contract-why strike? If the negotiations are not complete by the deadline just keep working and then get back pay for the raise. I'm not anti-union, but every contract we get the same results and every contract the union pumps their chest and boasts that they got us a "good" contract, when we get what we always get-an average of 50 to 75 cents an hour raise. What I want this year in addition to our raise is a decent cost of living allowance to offset the excessive cost of inflation this year. Of course this is just my opinion and I could be very wrong.
