[QUOTE="55andout?, post: 375831, member: 12628"] I don't need a history lesson, I am well versed with the struggles of labor and the positive impacts they have had on all of our lives. Having said that I will be crossing your picket line if you choose to have one because I am employed by UPS and not the teamsters. It is my job job to supervise people and processes and to serve the customer. I don't have an option to cross. So you have your strike vote, good, leverage it and see what happens. If you use it on August 1st without continued negotiations the teamsters are being foolish and will only hurt the company. Well not only the company but the teamsters. And since UPS has more teamsters then any other company I think its foolish to cut your nose off to spite your face.But getting back to the reason I responded to your post. Comparing the struggles of labor to the struggles of war is like comparing Pop Warner football to the pro ranks, only much more disrespectful. More Americans died at Gettysburgh then all labor riots combined. I stand by my statement that your picket line is not a battlefield. [/QUOTE]
