[QUOTE="siouxman, post: 3636346, member: 4991"] Strikes are a double edged sword.It gave rise to new competion (RPS) and more regional carriers.Striking should be a last resort.It takes years to get over the animosity management and the workers have for each other.We also hurt a lot of small business who went broke because of the strike.I remember talking to my custumers not to use ups during strike and most supported us. In today's internet economy we would not get much sympathy and after the strike we would lose many customers.I hear some here say who cares if we have no public support,well it makes all the difference. Don't be in a hurry to strike,it's no fun walking the line not knowing the future.Vote your wishes and if it goes down have patience. The key is for both sides to keep talking and remember it is collective bargaining we will not get everything we want [/QUOTE]
