[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 3105995, member: 4992"] Pretty much. I wanted to respond earlier to your post, but it's a tough question. Because any answer I give.... can be confused as favoring the company. But I'll give it a shot. (and this is my [U]opinion[/U]) As someone who has been involved with contract negotiations, there is always an advantage for the employer. They provide the jobs. Granted.... UPS is on solid financial footing. (We want that, don't we ?) But, they aren't required to fork over the bulk of their profits through the contract bargaining procedure, to benefit the hourly Union worker. They are entitled to "equitable" contract language. We have the right to strike. (by vote). The company has a right to "lock out" (don't see that happening). As I said before; The letter Fred Z sent, was political grandstanding. If he was serious about LOCAL 89 and Worldport problems.... He would have addressed it years ago. Nice timing. -Bug- [/QUOTE]
