[QUOTE="Crumudgeon, post: 4204597, member: 48287"] I agree UPS played their hand masterfully, they divided the members by offering a decent deal to the part-timers, a decent offer to the city drivers and a bad deal to the line-haul drivers. They knew the Union was weak, the members divided, and when they emptied the system it scared the crap out of 80% of them. I'm not sure if that was a calculated move by the company and if they would have shuttered the place if the vote went south, don't know. But what I do know is when I sat in that parking lot with my BA to accept the ballots the fear was real. These brothers with mortgages, kids in school, etc., saw the real potential of what in reality is a pretty good living ending that day. We had zero leverage, no support by package, seemed like no support from the International, no support by Kris Taylor, a system that had been emptied, we knew we were drawing dead. [/QUOTE]
