[QUOTE="scratch, post: 600650, member: 1674"] And why exactly has this dispute come this far? Usually in contract talks, both sides ask for ridiculous things and then both parties meet somewhere in the middle. Since the mechanics have been without a contract for over three years, is this because of a bad local's negotiating team or the company demanding too much in concessions? I'm not taking sides, I just hear little bits and pieces here and there and I don't understand the whole story. I have been through UPS/IBT contracts since the 70's, and I understand how people get worked up at this time. Most employees can't afford to strike because they live paycheck to paycheck, and the company knows this. I can't believe that the company would risk the loss of volume over contracts with 1400 employees after what happened in '97. [/QUOTE]
