[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 1894288, member: 2193"] Highly unlikely that a strike by the pilots would occur for several reasons. The Railway Labor Act is the labor law that oversees these negotiations. The National Mediation Board has not declared an impasse in the negotiations, a necessary precursor to a legal strike. If the board, which has been mediating the negotiations, determines talks are deadlocked it could start a 30-day countdown toward a legal strike or lockout. Even if the board cleared the way for a strike, Congress or the president could block it to prevent disruption in a key industry such as shipping. It is estimated that UPS delivers more than 6% of the American Gross Domestic Product and 2% of global GDP each and every day. Congress or the president would not allow a pilots strike to happen due to the damage it would cause to an already fragile economy. Strike authorization vote is a common tactic during negotiations and occurred during previous pilot contracts and they all were eventually signed. The fact that FedEx just signed their pilot agreement is also a positive sign things will get resolved. All just part of the management-labor contract negotiations dance. [/QUOTE]
