[QUOTE="pemanager, post: 550915, member: 5027"] Coldworld, I'm not worried because of the politics of the situation. The Democrats in Congress owe a lot to Labor because of Labor's support of them. The Democrats should be especially eager to please Labor since they couldn't muster support for EFCA. The committee which will be handling this bill has 3 more Democrats than Republicans. Of the Republicans, one (Isakson) is from Georgia which means UPS is a large constituent of his and he should be amenable to listening to us. Olympia Snowe is another of the Republican Senators and she is very centrist and I would expect her to be open minded and not oppose a level playing field. All in all, the politcal star are aligned right for this to happen. The Teamsters do need to be ready to get the ball rolling ASAP if / when this passes, though, before the balance of power changes and the law is changed back. [/QUOTE]
