[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 328541, member: 14596"] silly in that it was totally unrealistic. The Union saw that issue as an existential threat. Was it the right thing for UPS Teamsters? yes. Was it the right thing for UPS? Yes. and that is what UPS tried to argue. But UPS never looked at it from the Union's point of view. If you are pointing a gun at someone and explaining to them all the perfectly logical reasons why it is just and rational and right that you shoot them in the head, do you really expect them to agree to it, no matter how compelling your arguments might seem to you? Of course not, that would be silly. But I reiterate, that issue along with all the others won in that contract COULD have been won without a strike. [/QUOTE]
