[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3816797, member: 58386"] You "free market" pseudo conservatives especially those of you at UPS who have enjoyed all the benefits of a protected labor market courtesy of Taft Hartley need to keep something in mind. For decades you have taken that benefit for granted. However a SCOTUS stacked with conservative judges will increase the possibility if not the likelihood of a court willing to hear arguments challenging Taft Hartley and the collective bargaining rights therein. A real possibility given recent court decisions as well as states passing right to work laws. If SCOTUS were to overturn Taft Hartley think of the brave new world of an open labor market it could bring to UPS and other companies. For example a person could walk into a UPS terminal and say to management: " Look you don't need to pay Newfie here $40 an hour along with his very expensive benefit package. I'll do it for $16 an hour and cheaper benefits." UPS would then be perfectly free to take him as well as thousands of others up on the offer because there would be no lawfully organized opposition or resistance in place to stop it The IBT would exist in name only and all of it's power stripped away. .....So what would you have in the end?......Fedex Ground.
