[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 580299, member: 484"] It is interesting how politics makes strange bedfellows of groups that usually take opposite stands on issues. For both the teamsters and UPS, they each have a vested interest in the above. And the cost to each in very minimal. Like I said in another post, UPS teamsters are like the wife of 30 years to a husband that is interested in procuring multiple 20 somethings. Yeah honey, Im going to work, what time will you get off? Really, they have asked you to work a bunch of overtime? Well, Ill just spend some time with the "boys". Tell me how they would benefit by rocking the boat with UPS when they need UPS right now. It is a win win for them both, with us left holding the bill. As for Whiskey's post, he is 100% right on. There were thousands of businesses that went under because of that strike. UPS suffered as well, as many moved on (also one of the reasons that I have been posting on the subject of taking care of the small customer), and many more have become very anti union. Our public persona really took a hit. Seems like I remember that strike was over part time wages............ d [/QUOTE]
