[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 1275137, member: 14596"] Thank you for illustrating my point. The teams were the suggestion of a consulting firm called the Atlanta Consulting group to which UPS paid untold millions of dollars. Their ideas and strategies came from studies of labor in Europe among other places. The consultants told UPS that it had way too many management people and that it should allow the employees to have more say in how the job is done since they are the ones that know the job best. The implementations started in 95, the plans for them started way before that. It had absolutely no connection to either the stock offering or the 97 contract talks. By 97, UPS had a new CEO and was already giving up on the work teams ideas. The fact that you still believe they were just a subterfuge to undermine a strike that was not even in the imagination of the folks who conceived them, proves to me that you bought hook, line, and sinker, the messages of the Teamsters PR machine. The Teamsters were very effective at turning employees against the work teams concept. My original point was that the UAW if it gets into this plant, will do the same to their "Work Councils".
