[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1097194, member: 43436"] People can perceive you as both a hard worker and also as being overpaid. As a driver and as a helper, I've encountered numerous situations in which people refused to help me / expected me to go out of my way with a package because of my compensation (though I'm actually earning a seasonal / helper rate). UPS has the finances to handle a strike. The bigger question is if we could handle it -- a strike would undoubtedly see many shippers permanently change carriers, costing thousands of jobs; ultimately it could set the path for huge concessions from the Teamsters next contract (likely in four years). At first I thought Scott Davis was playing chicken, but now I think he's willing to endure a strike -- he may think he has nothing to lose even though both the Company and Union have plenty to lose if there's a strike.
