[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 720970, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]Jons point and yours actually address a completely different issue. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]my point had nothing to do with competition or owning packages. But the impact of the strike on teamster jobs. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]In 97 85 percent of shippers were single carrier shippers. they made the choice to ship ground exclusively with ups. The strike changed that loyalty to ups. The strike gave fdx the opportunity to move into ground. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Fdx would have moved into ground eventually. In the meantime UPS retains single carrier loyalty and grows much more before fdx makes their move. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]therefore the strike cost ups millions of future packages and the teamsters as much as a hunderd thousand real full time jobs.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]The 22.3 jobs won are a drop in the bucket compared to the jobs lost.
