'97 Strike Resulted in UPS Going Public

[rod]

Usually the first vote on a contract also counts as an authorization to strike vote but sometimes there will be an authorization vote while they are still negotiating. It gives the union more leverage when negotiating the contract.

I think that's what happened

Two separate votes.

It is 2 separate votes but they can be combined into one vote.

On second though "who cares?" --its all in the past and I've moved on.

I believe the third no vote on the contract is considered also to be a strike vote.

UPS was reasonable with their first offer. The Union did not want to lose their cash cow---the pension.

UPS offered a seven year deal with $.30 raises on even years and bonuses on odd ones. That equates to a $.90 base increase starting in 2004. With the strike we received a $2.10 base increase by 2002 plus another $1.50 the first two years after our negotiated 5 yr deal from '97-'02. That's $3.60 minus their offered $.90 = $2.70 per hour over their "reasonable" offer and they still turned record profits.
Someone mistakenly said you were good with money...
