[QUOTE="Tony Q, post: 3497470, member: 70940"] Honestly, I don't know if they can whip up a strong enough contract that the members will ever ratify. I see a strike in our future. If this happens I don't know what the outcome will be. It's kind of a poop or get off the pot for UPS. They have spent so much on technology in the past two decades that they almost have to call our bluff. What the outcome of a strike in this present environment could be catastrophic or could work out. If there is one thing I remember from the last strike is that a lot of people got laid off in the next year or so, and they fired as many people as they could. That strike left a bad taste in managements mouth that never left. Now with this younger generation of management and there lack of commitment to the company, due to not actually being PARTNERS anymore I could see a downward spiral of apathy that would make it a who really cares for management. Don't get me wrong I don't like over zealous management, but I don't want management like Freight or the Auto Industry used to have that runs profitable companies into the ground and makes a good sustainable living go right down the toilet.
