[QUOTE="twoweeled, post: 3137003, member: 27108"] We should have had a strike at the last contract negotiations. I get the feeling UPS is willing to deal with a strike. I think UPS sees how weak the Union has become and how much stronger the company has become (aggressive too). The Union doesn't want a strike and won't be offering that as an option, Unless forced to do so. The Union will lose too much money going into a strike. I also don't believe the teamsters themselves will vote or push for strike. I also believe you will be paying something/someway for Healthcare. Maybe it'll just start out with reduced benefits. Then, "Oh, you'd like the same level of benefits? Well we can give them to you, but it'll cost you". Then you have just started paying for the same benefits, you've always had. One way or another, you will be paying for Healthcare. The Union will tell you, "well everyone is paying for healthcare", like if that should matter. Once you start paying, it'll just go up from there. Once that door is opened, there is no going back, EVER!! This next contract should open everyone's eyes to trend of our future. We're like the boxer who is swinging while moving backwards. UPS is coming forward and swinging. I'd be surprised if any Teamster sees us pushing the company backwards? [/QUOTE]
