[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 1019355, member: 29972"] Liquid Swords, I completely agree. When it comes down to the bottom line, a strike is the only real negotiating tool we have. But the Teamsters seem scared stupid to even mention the "s" word. When comparing us to other unionized workforces out there, it really does seem like we are in a much better position to wield the threat of a strike. We have many advantages to our situation that other unions don't. ie.. -UPS can't outsource our work to china -Our strike would not be localized, it would be nationwide -FedEx would capitalize greatly from a strike by stealing some of our customer base -replacing 300,000+ workers all at the same time would be a financial disaster for UPS and the service commitments we provide to our customers It really does seem like the cards would be stacked in our favor!
