Why shouldn't we strike?

[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 2332255, member: 42691"] Pay isn't the issue. Ask any feeder driver and he or she will tell you the real story. Management continues to break our contract by the blatant use of subcontractors to move our freight. This alone is a reason to strike. Because it is a reason doesn't mean we have to strike, but it is our only tool in the bag to get UPS to follow the contract they signed. The problem is our International seems not to care about the problem, and it is a problem. If we continue to allow it to happen, it is the crack in our dam. If UPS has no fear of using subs outside the time they are allowed, then we will be finished as we know it. UPS would love nothing better than using Coyote to move ALL of our freight, if they can get away with it. And the ball rolls downhill. Nothing would stop them from doing the same thing in package car. It's not a stretch to think they could easily figure out a way to sub out the package side. Money is the issue, but not hourly pay. Our ability to move OUR bargaining work is what really pays us, and it is in real danger. The scary thing about it, is our International either doesn't have the balls, or the will to address it. And make no mistake, if this isn't corrected, it affects every full-time, Teamster working at UPS. [/QUOTE]
