[QUOTE="Brown Spider, post: 1319045, member: 52461"] Oh...so now you're counting on Richard Nixon's famous "silent majority"? Whatever happened to the 50 guys in referee uniforms, the whistles and the signs you were hoping for before the meeting? How about the Maspeth drivers who took the mic and strongly supported Liam? Not part of your "silent majority", huh? And the 30 or so guys wearing shirts in support of Liam? Again...not part of your "silent majority", huh? You just aren't going to get it, member 60blowhard! The Maspeth 250 engaged in a job action because they were sick and tired of UPS violating the contract! They were sick and tired of the push button gestapo mentality of UPS management! They were pushed to the limit when one of their co-workers was being harassed for production after being hit by a car on the job and spending 9 days in a coma! The Maspeth 250 took a stand! Yes...it was a tough stand to take...not one for the weak-kneed or faint of heart, but it was UPS that pushed these guys into taking that stand. And it was UPS that was forced to back down in the end! Labor battles like this sometimes happen when a rogue employer doesn't realize that he's just crossed the line. It takes some serious backbone to stand up and put it all on the line! The Maspeth 250 showed that they have that backbone. I'm not convinced that your "silent majority" is up to the task. Their silence was deafening at the membership meeting! Very much like your own...sorta' like the silence of the lambs. [/QUOTE]
