[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3672169, member: 63706"] I agree it would be a huge risk, it really depends on just how hardball UPS was playing. Let's say the union presented the membership's ultimate wish list, and UPS countered with something that was so far away that the Union just couldn't get them to meet very close to the middle. If I believed I had negotiated the best deal I could, but knew it wasn't that great, I wouldn't try to hype it as the greatest deal ever. The way they are pushing it like that, but, so far, have yet to explain how it is the best deal ever in a satisfactory manner, is the main support for the hypothesis. If it were me, and I really believed it was the best deal I could get, I would be open and honest, pointing out the good parts, and explaining why the bad parts couldn't be helped (still hoping they will do this). I couldn't straight up tell members to vote no, UPS would cry foul. [/QUOTE]
