[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 3558190, member: 2193"] I wasn't changing the subject - I was replying to what [U]you[/U] posted. I don't disagree with you about the driver-customer relationship - it's a very valuable thing and an advantage UPS has over the competition. At the same time, that relationship only goes so far and it's a different world now than in 1997. In the 97 strike, the end-consumer was really not impacted so they had no reason to be upset - they could go to the store and continue to buy their stuff. Now, so many people are conditioned to buy that same stuff online and expect 2 day delivery, no matter what. Going to the store is somehow inconvenient and people today are more self-centered and get upset by being inconvenienced. Will there be some support for drivers? Of course, but I don't think it will be at the same levels as 1997. [/QUOTE]
