Many police cheifs ordered their officers to give out tickets to all ups package cars for parking or anything.  Huge support from the public. Ron Carey did a awsome job with the public.  We had one conference call from the union to update us.  Will be interesting to see what changes if we strike again.</p></blockquote><p></p>
