[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 326236, member: 13254"] You gotta be kidding? The move to go public was most certainly one of the major factors that sent this company on a down hill spiral. I'll leave it up to you to prove me wrong. It was the CEO (his name escapes me) of UPS that engineered the strike, he and all his negotiators knew damn well that the union was never going to submit a proposal like their "first, last and best and only offer" go to the rank and file. I'm not going to debate the intricacies of a multi employer pension, but at the [U][I]time[/I][/U] the union was not going to give that up. EVERYONE knew that from the get go. I know of plans made many months before the strike that were stagged to go into effect right after the strike ended, that were going to be blamed on the employees for striking. They (the company) knew it would go into a work stoppage, hell they planned it that way. Then in the end, the company's "second, best and last offer" was exactly as the union proposed. I don't see how allowing the hourly employees to purchase stock was a mistake. I do know there were many management people unhappy about it though. [/QUOTE]
