[QUOTE="705red, post: 446665, member: 5229"] Well by reading your post it appears you are not a union employee, correct? I could see were you are coming from but understand that i for one am sick off hearing people say that we are paid too much. Not many people could do what a ups driver does day in and day out and i believe that we earn every penny that we make. Now if the company was not making money i would be willing to cut back and or take a freeze. But ups is still profiting a boat load. Now as a driver i do not see air runs coming late to my building all that often so i have to side with my brother mechanics. Its obvious that what they do they are great at servicing the air craft and avoiding delays with would cost ups tons of money in service failures. So they too are the best in the industry and also help to keep ups profitable. As a member of our negotiating team here on our current contract i have seen first hand how ups will drag out the procedure, until they understood how serious we were at the time. Now with ups doing there best to gain the old dhl business away from FedEx this would be a great time for a stand to be made. Imo DO i want to see a strike? No But i would like to see this taken care of to avoid lost business and sometimes you have to get ugly to protect what you have. And shutting down all of our airports this close to Xmas would force ups's hand to settle. [/QUOTE]
