[QUOTE="Rack em, post: 3475013, member: 60861"] Would the company rather go from 6 billion dollar PROFITS to maybe if lucky a 2 billion dollar profit? Or treat it's employees like human beings and settle for 4-5 billion dollar profits a year? If Ups is greedy and stupid enough to FORCE us to strike, then they deserve the outcome which will be massive loss in customers and a lot of our contracts going to Fedex, USPS, DHL, etc. If you think Ups can just magically replace all of us union workers you are sadly mistaken. It would take months to hire enough scabs to even process half our normal volume. Then the "drivers" they get would have to all do the classes or else their insurance premiums would be through the roof. The service failures alone would be astronomical. And a few months into the strike Ups would be wishing they would have just agreed to treat the employees better instead of running their now :censored:ty company into the ground. Ups controls it's own future with this contract. And I hope Abney goes bankrupt and lives the rest of his pathetic life in a cardboard box. Wouldn't that be poetic justice? [/QUOTE]
