Best deal will be made in summer 2013. If sign this Xmas we will get screwed.
It depends on where you are on the seniority list.
If we don't have a contract signed before April 2013 - packages will begin to get diverted to FedEx and maybe the USPS.
That is the reason business smart Union leaders and UPS will try and get a contract in place before end of year.
FedEx sales people are already using the upcoming contract as a sales pitch, "Give us some of your volume and that will ensure FedEx will take care of you when UPS goes out on strike." - the legacy of the '97 strike lives on.
