[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 215407, member: 7185"] I think you gentleman have [B][I]entirely[/I][/B] missed my point. No disputing what you say, Cole. I've never tried to argue that it was on the same [I]scale[/I], either. It simply wasn't. However, [I]that[/I] having been said, its a [I]great[/I] example of organized labor miscalculating management's resolve. Will the Teamsters make the same [I]tactical[/I] error???? I hope not! Jon, yes, their strike [I]was[/I] illegal. Did that stop them from striking? Obviously not. We've seen it since, too. NYC's mass trans system was shut down and their union bosses also hauled into court. Not disputing any facts of your post, by the way. The laws governing labor differ for very good reasons. However, that doesn't make it any less annoying. A tactic that works for UPS (an economic strike) doesn't necessarily have the same applicability in another sector, such as air traffic control. IMHO, the union didn't realize this. Underestimating your adversary is a [B]big[/B] mistake!! -Rocky [/QUOTE]
