[QUOTE="Superteeth2478, post: 5398425, member: 73024"] There's a "no-strike" clause in most contracts between a union and the employer, meaning that a strike during a contract period rather than after negotiations have failed is a "wildcat strike" and isn't likely to get any sympathy from the government, the company, or the union. Usually the only reason a strike during a contract is approved is when it's due to ongoing egregious safety violations (among a handful of other things). The strike in Maspeth over the unjust termination is an example of a wildcat strike. The company was planning on and would absolutely have followed through with terminating all of the drivers that participated but due to the bad press circling the news in regard to the company's position and the fact that they'd be losing "sweetheart deals" with the city they re-instated all the drivers although the business agent that called the strike was barred from entering UPS facilities. That was a very isolated incident though. Again, it's highly unlikely that a wildcat strike would garner much sympathy from any side, especially the public. [/QUOTE]
