[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 770145, member: 12570"] I guess their definition of a living wage differs from yours. To me, $30/hr plus an industry leading benefit and pension package are more than what I would call a living wage. I realize that the strike would not be about money but the general public would not know that. What is your first thought whenever you pass a picket line? Money. I assume that Detroit is a big union city yet they also have 15% unemployment. How much support do you think Detroit UPSers are going to get if they decide to walk? ZERO. A strike in this economy would be a PR disaster. [/QUOTE]
