[QUOTE="ozlander, post: 1109549, member: 1409"] been through one strike...no fun..really ugly in our midwest area...For what we went out for, at that time totally caught ups off guard, they are better prepared to make or break the union like other companies have done in the last few years. Our numbers our down as a union and we are weaker, UPS knows this. They have always boasted that we will be leaner and meaner when we come out of the economy slump...Iam wondering if this is what they have been waiting for? Unlike years past, Fedex Grd is more prepared with all their new terminals they built after our last contract, Iam not sure if they have the help, but customers have more options for shipping now. UPS, in my opinion and I hope that iam wrong and you can rip me if you want, they just don't give a sh#t about us or the customers. They are more worried about their stupid pickup compliance times and having your run spohr, no matter if you have a crappy loader or it snows 11 inches...My question is this, other unions have still worked even after their contracts expire and then companies still can negotiate without any work stoppage. I have always heard about this and it seems that those companies generally work things out. Not sure this works for all contracts, just a thought!...I just want to get this thing taken care of early and not have pay on health care. [/QUOTE]
