[QUOTE="Ashell, post: 1316820, member: 23726"] I hate to see people say the 250+1 had something to do with it. Those people had a union, that stood up for what was right. I think this is a lot of propaganda to make people hate each other, and work against each other. This only favors the company and management. The problem is not enough people voted, so by rights they could impose the contract. You could argue that there were more people than just 89 that voted for it, but I think many people didn't vote in those elections either. I'm pretty sure many votes against the contract were thrown out, not even joking. And my question is, what was voter turn out previously that it was so low? If the number of votes was similar, ok, people just should have voted. If it went down, there should be like a 20/20 investigation or something. I think the real issue was amazon. The company is terrified to lose them. They have put a lot into staffing up and expanding to handle them next year. What if that all came crashing down? I think someone somewhere reasoned it out that amazon is creating jobs, which is more important that one locals strike. But really, UPS could have just kept our benefits the same. The person administering the new BCBS teamcare plan just gained thousands of customers, and commission on them all. Someone got a pay off somewhere, but they did more good than harm by creating jobs, right? Everyone finally got their raises, right? Tell that to people with health problems. Tell that to people being harassed. Tell that to dues paying members seeking help from a crooked union leadership. [/QUOTE]
