150 lb mini strike

[Covemastah]

Who remembers that one day strike we had , maybe early 94.
they increased from 70 to 150 overnight !
We walked out first thing Monday morning in local 25 ,, I'm almost positive it was in 1994 !

Only strike I remember in 94 was when the Boys of Summer took a hike.
Probably cost Mattingly a World Series appearance.

I remember the BA walking thru the centers telling us to follow him out!
I also remember other locals did not participate. Remember all the feeders that drove up? (and turned around!)

It was a wildcat. UPS raised weight to 150 just after we had settled a contract and claimed it wasn't a bargaining issue.

Wildcat strikes at UPS never turn out good---

I was a part timer back then so they probably had it settled before my shift started.
