They are probably satisfied with those liberal arts degrees that give them a deep understanding of the meaning of the hole in the bagel.
I was part of this. I can only hope people will rally like they did then. It will happen again.

The company got headlines overseas and a lot of attention from foreign company's when they found out just how big UPS was and how much of the US market it had. That was when our international package business took off. I'm that respect, the strike was a positive thing for the company.

I'm glad you got your man back Harry.
That's what I was thinking
Not spin, just fact. The company lost money the quarter we had the strike, but AT LEAST the next 3 quarters we made record profit each quarter. It may have been more than that, but al least 3. I wouldn't want to go on strike again, it was scary enough back then, but we would have been worse off if we hadn't.

Hey, you're not supposed to be posting my picture without my permission.
Kmart sux. So does walmart.
It was ,scary times. not knowing how long you would be off of work. but It needed to be done and I agree with you and hope it never happens again! I am still working off my beer gut from 1997!
200,000+ workers going on strike? Sorry company man, but no technology in the world can replace so many workers. UPS would be demolished before they replace all those workers.

What happens to those 200,000 plus workers when UPS gets demolished?
No sweat to guy that unloads package cars a few hours a day. It means everything to a guy that feeds his children with these boxes.

Didnt say it would be good for any of us. Just telling upstate that UPS would lose too, FEDEX would finally put the nail into UPS's coffin if they were smart.

Wouldn't work out too bad for you...You'd make more salting fries at Mcdonald's than you probably do at ups.

If you look at the 97 contract, to the current contract. Hoffa has given back everything that we went on strike for. I was very proud to be apart of that great movement. 804 and 89 members are fighting for all of us right now, we have got to get behind them. Strikes and aggression is all Ups understands. We make their money, our hard work, our customer contact, the extra things we do to make Ups number 1. Not pencil pushers and bean counters in Atlanta. Ups is buying this union, and settling hoffa's debts. If we dont get actual Ups members moving up the ladder at the international, and get rid of hoffa/hall 2016, Ups will keep laughing in our face

You're assuming everyone strikes. That's highly unlikely, plenty will not strike and the longer it would go on more would likely cross. The problem I see is they would have to replace employees in a very short time as the longer it would take the more volume they would lose and probably never see again.

All I got to say is thank heavens we have Fox News to report the TRUTH this time.
