If there are old decrepits that remember the 93 contract, I think the upcoming contract negotiations may play out the same way. 1993 was Ron Carey's first national contract, if you remember, there was a lot of anticipation and hype about major contract changes, along with a lot of talk about a strike to achieve them, as you know, while the contract had some concrete improvements, it fell well short of expectations. I'm afraid with O'Brien's first, the same thing may happen. Just a theory, hope I'm wrong

If I remember correctly it was almost like UPS dared us to strike with their best and last offer.

The 1993 contract was a 4 year agreement.

nowhere special
The 97 contract went from 1997 to 2002
The next contract went from 2002 to 2008
The contract after that one from 2008 to 2013
The previous contract went from 2013 to 2018
And our current contract went from 2018 until this current year of 2023
Wasn't there a 4 year contract in the 80's? They did used to all be 3 years though
