[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 3557590, member: 2193"] Note that the quote you cited is from a Cornell university professor who previously "worked for many years as an organizer and union representative with the United Woodcutters Association." She might be slightly biased towards unions and Cornell is a liberal-leaning university. The article also noted "a stoppage likely wouldn't do much damage to the broader economy." Considering UPS handles about 6% of the US GDP and 2% of the global GDP, that statement is really not that accurate. The world was different in 1997 and e-commerce really did not exist. People will start losing their minds when they can't order crap online and have it arrive in a timely manner. At that point, they may vent their displeasure with the face of UPS. Bottom line is that a strike would be bad for UPS and therefore all UPS employees as well as the overall economy. IMO, things will get resolved and a contract will be signed and ratified. [/QUOTE]
