[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 3807926, member: 14940"] These are some unfortunate facts that UPS has in mind with this contract offer. The union is the weakest it’s been in decades. Member participation (which is reason for first fact) is weak at best. UPS freight is NOT a HUGE PROFIT generator like small parcel. There are major players in the LTL business that dwarf UPS Freight unlike UPS in small parcel. Wages are either at top or on par with the top of the industry. (Not placating that it cant get better). UPS now has another option with Coyote Logistics that will still allow it to have skin in the game. Most importantly they know full well that instead of participating in the hall with respect and understanding of one another’s issues and concerns for a better contract, we come on here and voice our opinions and then attack one another. Also in 97 we struck over pension issues centered around the central states pension not contract issues. Ironically years later we all have witnessed the hardship that pension has faced. I’m not stating an opinion rather UPS will close the doors due to a NO vote but let’s not forget the plight of Consolidated Freight and what happened to those guys in 2002. [/QUOTE]
