Only brought the "ducks" up because I could see where, if UPS DID have 'em lined-up, it might not to raise too big a stink otherwise. And, given the current make-up of the Senate, that COULD be very possible ("could", mind you...not meaning "is" or even "likely"). All it needs is to go along party lines and, without raising a stink, UPS gets to look good to labor, while not blowing things [publicly, at least] with the conservatives.
Only suggesting this as an explanation for the relative silence the company has offered-up so far. Maybe, in light of experience, it's just forlorn hope.
I can remember the "write your Congressman" times as well. Also the times (which might be still going on) where local management was supposed to make regular calls on their Representative when he was in-District, and pop-in at his office (asking for "VIP" [yeah, right!] White House tour passes, if nothing else) if one happened to be in Washington. I assume that stuff is still going on, although I don't know to what extent.
