[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 73120, member: 1356"] Well let's see, I know of fifteen people who now hold full-time jobs that wouldn't if not for that strike. It opened a door, fired up the momentum. Let's see, a [B]minimum[/B] of 20,000 new additional jobs created from part-time positions in that contract and this one. Granted, by the normal procedure of UPS that will also be the maximum as UPS normally doesn't give one inch more than it's forced into by the contract. [I]Still, Two-won-tie thousand. [/I]That is a [U]lot[/U] of additional full-time jobs. Fifteen of them in my building alone, a minimum of four more likely by the end of this contract here alone. Management likes to say the strike wasn't really about more full-time jobs [I]because they [U]lost[/U] that battle and they have never been good losers.[/I] The strike didn't truly benefit me to my knowledge, but I would say at this time two weeks off was worth it for those fellow workers and the additional ones to come. The pension was in relatively good shape in '97 when Carey was ousted for claims that have since been overturned and all charges acquitted of. One could say that an analogy could be made regarding dreamers that were stopped before their time by the less than innocent. [/QUOTE]
