[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1153885, member: 4886"] Personally, if the contract is voted down I see one of two options. If the teamsters come out and say there will be no strike, just further negotiations, you may see UPS quickly add something small (a small signing bonus) to PT folks to get them to sign. However, if a strike is threatened and volume diverts. Then I see UPS pulling out the big guns and work on getting rid of the union and going more to a FDX model, or possibly an employee based model but at significantly lower pay and significantly worse HW and no pension (outside of a matching 401K). If they do that, there will be hundreds of thousands of people trying to get the jobs. It will be ugly, service will suffer for a while and we will lose business. However, we will also come back at a vastly lower cost points to serve customers. We don't need the same training for inside like we used to. We'll have to send out a lot more drivers and a lower SPC until the drivers get used to deliverying. However, at a rate of about 1/2 we can afford to. Or what UPS may do, is send letters to the spouses of the UPS drivers and let them know what will happen. [/QUOTE]
