[QUOTE="Cole, post: 196265, member: 9507"] There are excellent points and both sides. Rocky and 705 made great points as well. No doubt it was very tough for those standing up to form unions in the early days, and the company's would bring in hired goons and haul them in by the truck loads to crack some skulls of those trying to unionize, with bats and whatever else they could carry etc...and the union side was painted as the bad guys. Great sacrifices were made that we cannot forget. Certainly there is no guarantee 30 to 40 yrs down the road UPS will still be top dog, and some of the mismanagement and backstabbing within management makes me wonder how long the ship can sail as is, and with hourlies too. I mean at times we lose sight of the "S" in the UP, and we have lost many major accounts that way. No I haven't changed my mind that I think the APWA *may* be the best bet we have, but we have to look at the broad picture, and consider the "what if's". [/QUOTE]
