[QUOTE="newfie, post: 5402363, member: 58700"] yea thats all fine and dandy but when a major transportation network or carrier disrupts the countries supply network the gov will step in and force either a return to work or a capitulation depending on the politics of the party in power. when UPS was on strike in 97 the clinton administration strong armed UPS to get it settled. UPS was lining up our biggest shippers at the time to provide them with a 2 day service that would have been workable by our managment and non union employees. Our plan was to ride out the strike with the belief that many of our people would eventually cross. We were getting a lot of phone calls from our people looking for a safe way to cross the lines and go back to work. The clinton administration stepped in and threatened UPS with an excess of regulatory action if we didnt cave. ups at the time delivered about 5 percent of the National GDP and the government was not going to let it continue.
