[QUOTE="nhguy, post: 551787, member: 5248"] It continues to amaze me that people just don't want to face the reality of where the economy really is at. I can only say that it sounds to me that UPS is doing everything in it's power to minimize the pain to any of it's employees, both union and non-union. If they did not continue to take the actions they are taking, then you could see another GM or Chrysler. Nobody is safe from going under in this mess!! As for the mechanics, I have a great deal of respect for these guys but for the union and company to go four years without an agreement is like playing poker. As time goes on, the chance of economic conditions changing are obviously great. If UPS continued to grow and prosper than the union would expect to get more out of them. Because the climate has changed, the union leadership can't possibly expect to get what they were probably already offered. It is also unwise to make a statement that you guys will get a large retro check in the end. There are no guarantees of anything. I'm just glad I'm retired and don't have to worry about these things anymore. Just as everyone else is suffering so am I. I lost large amounts of money in my 401k and in stock value and to top it off, my pension never goes up a penny for the rest of my life. Nobody likes to work without a raise, however it's better than the alternative. REMEMBER THE BIG FISH ALWAYS EATS THE LITTLE ONES :sad-little: [/QUOTE]
