[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1095848, member: 31414"] QKRSTKR......I understand your concerns about the adverse effects of a strike, etc.. however, please understand the we as a Union must at least [U]discuss[/U] ALL options before the end of our contract. While this may be a little like "Chicken Little" to you (The Sky is Falling) to you, UPS is a very large and well prepared company. UPS executives have been discussing our contract looooong before February 2013. IF we as a Union (You..you..and myself) do not at least look like we are prepared or willing to stand up against concessionary language in our contract, we are in for some very difficult times ahead. I can promise you that we are not "out of our freaking minds". Some of us have simply worked at UPS long enough to know what to expect and more importantly, how to deal with "Big Brown". Assuming UPS reads these boards and monitors discussions at the work place, if they detect fear, doubt, and other weaknesses such as intimidation...... their bargaining talks will continue to go against a fair and equitable contract with our Union representatives. Regardless of how you feel inside, I suggest you keep that "poker face" on until the game is over... I promise you that hall knows what he is doing. He is well experienced on how far he can push the company for the maximum benefits of UPS Teamsters. [/QUOTE]
