[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1092588, member: 4886"] A lot of the old timers have no reason to worry. I bet most of the old timers have selected the first 2 weeks of August for "vacation" so they won't lose any pay (at least for the first two weeks). If we lose a ton of volume, they still have enough seniority that they will be called back. They are in a win \ win scenario. The younger folks, are the ones who won't be able to pick the Aug vacation weeks. They also may be near the bottom of seniority list and could be out for many months if there is a work stoppage. If there is a work stoppage of anything more then a day or two, then I see this going where UPS will try to break the union. We already will have lost a lot of shippers, and therefore the density we enjoy in our pkg delivery. We will hire from outside for much lower rates, more in line with what FDX grd pays. In this economy, we could easily hire enough people. [/QUOTE]
