[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 446709, member: 4886"] Red, You are right. I'm not a union employee. I was when I first started while at college. I then went into PT mgmt as an engineer while going to college for Ind Engineering, then went back to union as a driver for 9 months and then was promoted to a FT Supv. You can read every post from me, and I never have said our SP's are paid too much. The one thing I have said, and will repeat, I don't understand why it seems that SOME people think it's a bad thing that their company makes lots of money. That if the company makes a lot of money, then they deserve more. I think the job performed and the work expected should be the largest emphasis on the pay for the job. Not weather the company is losign money or making money. I don't get the last paragraph I quoted from you. "DO i want to see a strike? No But i would like to see this taken care of to avoid lost business..." I totally agree with this statement, since talking about an unresolved contract can't help what our customers think. But the next portion of the statement. "..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 " If you want to push our customers away, then this is a great way to do it. Let me ask you something, and before you answer stop for two minutes and think about it. You are the owner or leader of a company that depends on air service. If you use UPS, and find out their mechanics go on strike, even though currently they pay nothing into their benefits and they make what they do and are the highest paid in their field and during this difficult economy they strike. And this strike seriously financially impacts your company. After it's all over, would you continue to use UPS??? If the answer is Yes, why? [/QUOTE]
