[QUOTE="Heavy Package, post: 3429399, member: 70051"] I don't think any rational member wants to strike. I know I don't. With tax cuts and volume and record profits - all noted by UPS - there should be plenty of give and take to go around this year. But UPS has us boxed in a corner by all accounts. I note the following truths: 1. 70 hr work weeks allowed during peak 2. Proposing no consecutive days off and pushing for Sunday delivery 3. Not coming to the table or countering our proposals 4. Excessive OT and harassment (in many parts of the country) 5. PT pay issues 6. Outsourcing freight, feeder, and package ( with surepost) jobs 7. The way they are treating our airline mechanics contract The final straw is messing with pension and healthcare this contract. It's time to stand up and strike this year. It will help us hold the line for another 5 years with UPS. [/QUOTE]
