[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 752665, member: 1912"] [COLOR=#0000ff]Ah the strike was not about wages it was supposedly about the ups attempt to buyout the pensions. fast forward 10 years and we buyout the CS pension. in hindsight it looks like the strike could have been avoided at a time when the cost to fix those pension plans was much cheaper.

So any discussions of the challenge of 80's and the loss of volume over the years would include our insensitivity to the shippers needs but would also have to include the strike.
