[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1028039, member: 9789"] I heard that the strike was going to happen no matter what. The Union President and the Mayor of Chicago have "big personalities". Basically, they don't like each other much and it was a power move by the union to embarrass Rahm. Rahm probably showed the union some disrespect and the handwriting was on the wall. I love to read statements from hard line union folks. They think they are at war with the company or government they work for. They will squeeze every ounce of green out of the respective company or government without consequence to the health of the company or government. It is WAR! It is US against YOU! How is that working out in Stockton? or California for that matter? How is the education of our children working out on the world stage? Closer to home, how is it working out for all the trucking companies that no longer exist? The unions won some of those battles but lost the WAR! Don't get me wrong... I don't like management folks who think it is US vs THEM much either. [/QUOTE]
