[QUOTE="35years, post: 5094354, member: 60822"] No doubt UPS would not be able to move the boxes...Feeders alone stop the entire system, no extra qualified drivers anywhere. As to O'Brien's willingness to strike... We shall see. He was not elected as a don't rock the boat candidate. And he expressed his position that PVDs violate the contract when they began. I went through the 97 strike. The current situation feels exactly like 97. People said the exact same thing then...The public won't support us (wrong); new Teamster leader won't dare to strike (wrong); record profits will mean UPS will not risk a strike (wrong). If we strike will the public support a company's top management that makes millions each? I think not. The press will expose the record profits and salaries of top management. The public supported the workers last time because they know our drivers...who work long hard hours. The press will also pick up on how little our part timers make...far less on average then in 97. UPS has far more to lose and will have little public support. [/QUOTE]
