[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1283187, member: 12570"] ...nor would I expect or want them to.... We had two casuals fired last week. One of them was on a "last chance" agreement and did something stupid which led to the termination. The other was fired for falsifying records and will most likely get his job back after a brief unpaid vacation. There was no thought of walking out in unified support for either one of them; in fact, the prevailing sentiment for the "last chance" driver was "it's about time". The work environment in my center is much different from that of 804. We don't have the "us" vs "them" mentality clearly evident in the thread. The only issue that I can think of offhand that I would even consider going on strike for would be a blatant disregard of or direct violation of the contract, such as unilaterally replacing seniority FT drivers with off the street hires or subcontracting our work to non-union personnel.
