[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 1119175, member: 5053"] [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] If we strike for full-time jobs, and a little bit for PT pay, we will have the public behind us. If we strike so we don't have to pay for benefits (like the rest of America does) then we won't. UPS cares more about public image than teamster gripes. Going into a strike without public support is going into it pretty much unarmed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the public doesn't get to vote, some may say. They do get to vote. They get to vote whether they use UPS. And that's a bigger gun than a strike. 90% of the general public has NO IDEA that the majority of UPSers are part-time. They have no idea how long it takes to get a FT-job. You shout those from the rooftops, and we'll have something going. And we may get our benefits demands met in the process. But if that is the focal point, it's a much harder fight. When I tell people I work at UPS, and then they find out I'm not a driver, their number one reaction is confusion and trying to figure out what in the world there is to do at UPS other than drive.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
