[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 81715, member: 2193"] montecarlo12 said the following things that need to be corrected/clarified. ""When UPS went on strike years ago, Fedex did not use that as a marketing tool." UPS did NOT go on strike, the Teamsters went on strike against UPS. You want us to believe that no Fedex sales person mentioned the threat of a strike when making a sales pitch to a UPS customer in '97? You think that no Fedex sales person brings that up to customers now and will not next year ("remember what happened in '97, better open an account with Fedex"). Are you serious? "With that said you also have to realize that UPS hurt alot of customers..." The TEAMSTERS hurt a lot of customers--they went on strike against UPS. "I understand the reason for the strike.." Please share with us what that reason was. "I would never cross a picket line to walk into a supermarket, or buy a 12pak of a Beer from a company where there drivers are being replaced by union busters and scabbs." But you had no problem picking up and delivering packages that were formerly being picked up and delivered by UPS drivers. As a non-union driver taking work from a union UPS driver, does that not, in fact, make you a scab? Why would you support the supermarket in the above example but not the UPS drivers? [/QUOTE]
