[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1097163, member: 43436"] I don't believe America is anti-corporation right now; people were incensed with executive compensation packages for a few months in the late 2000s and then they forgot about it. In terms of public perception, unfortunately, UPS holds leverage over the Teamsters. UPS will tout to the public: "Over the past 10 years, the average UPS driver has earned, on average, an additional $30,000* in compensation, including $9 an hour in raises. UPS drivers pay nothing towards their health care costs, which are among the best of any profession in America. Meanwhile, our rates have climbed XXX. UPS will continue to take care of its workforce, but we don't think it's fair for you to continue paying for it." Given that most Americans earn less today, factoring in health care, than they did ten years ago, it will outrage many. Also keep in mind that in 1997, the status quo Fox News didn't exist. *calculated from $9/hour raise, an average of 45/hours per week & 70% increase in family health care premiums (national average) [/QUOTE]
