[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 1021561, member: 16651"] JonFrum; Case law, when it comes to NLRB complaints, often is limited to the jurisdictions of the courts and/or the appellate courts involved. Witness the infamous "9th Circuit" Federal decisions that come out of the west coast. They're often at odds with those of courts in other parts of the country; until appealed higher, they're valid only in that district. Even then, the possible circumstances of ULP complaints are many and varied, and can be quite technical; they are FAR from "cut 'n' dried". As for your "analysts or UPS" officials" stuff, well first of all, if you read what I wrote again, you'll notice that I most emphatically stated that it would probably NOT happen; I'm only speaking of a "POSSIBILITY", most assuredly not of a "certainty", nor even of a "likelihood". However, I'd assert that anyone who thinks that such a possibility doesn't exist in one form or another is being rather naive. Secondly, I'll have to admit that I'm not that familiar with any outside "analysts" who would postulate how the company might react to a strike. However, I'm also not familiar with any OUTSIDE analyst who would be much better - or even as well - informed on the situation as I. And, in terms of CURRENT UPS officials who WOULD have much in the way of relevant information on the topic, they're simply not going to discuss it. That's just the nature of business....as it is with union affairs as well. That said, it doesn't take a genius to see which direction the company has taken over the 15 years. If, in looking at that direction, you think the company HASN'T made itself "ready" to a degree, then you're certainly entitled to your opinion. I can tell you, however, that if the union looks at such possibilities as mere "fantasies", then its potentially resigning itself to the same type of consequences as those suffered in those job actions mentioned above...and those consequences were NO mere "fantasies"..
