[QUOTE="area43, post: 252156, member: 4862"] IMO, The winner of a strike is the employee. The UPS union employee does not lose anything. Actually he gains. Let me explain. Folks its all what you compare it to. I will use this example. The numbers I'll use will just be for the sake of using numbers. Ok, Lets say a Teamster ft driver makes $60,000 a year. A Fedex non union driver makes $50,000 a year. A Dhl non union/some are union drivers make $30,000 a year. Keep that in mind. I than will take a UPS dirver that has worked 5 years before he goes on strike. Lets do a little math. $60,000(UPS) - $50,000(fedex) = $10,000. Take that $10,000 and times it by 5 giving you a total of $50,000. That would be your strike fund. Do you see my point? By being a unionized Company your wages are alot higher than the non union company. The difference in income is your strike fund. For without the union you would probably be making the same or less as the non-union employee. Thats how I look at it. The problem with that. Is that most/ not all(Teamsters) adjust their lifestyle to match their level of income. Again, Teamsters the strike fund is allready given to us in the difference of our union wage to non union wage. The monies is incorporated in our wages prior to the years before the strike. Its all who you compare it to. The sad part is most didn't see it or plan for it that way. [/QUOTE]
