'97 Strike Resulted in UPS Going Public

Hook, line and sinker...didn't think you'd bite. You're slipping.

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...

The money that would have fixed the pensions was diverted to wages.
Pay me now or pay me even more later.

and look how well ups is doing in 2016.
Management seems like a career everyone wants to get into.

Management is just another employee affected just like the drivers!

Yep, the PCs were much cleaner before ORION!

They don't seem to have a problem washing the feeder tractors every day....

They don't seem to have a problem washing the feeder tractors every day....

Only if they are not waiting.
PC's tend to come back at the same time and backups and queueing takes place.

This is about the strike of 97. Please try to stay on topic.

I suspect the two of you have very little, if anything, in common.

I think they both have stated that they think you are a dick....that's at least 1 thing they have in common..

No, I rarely drink alcoholic beverages.
Usually when that is the only socially acceptable form of mind alteration.
I am a rather pathetic beer drinker.
