[QUOTE="reydluap, post: 372793, member: 1583"] I was thinking about this topic today. Being the devils advocate here. Look at what UPS might be thinking here. Only 3000 out of 13000 voted,,,hardly a majority. UPS just might be saying to themselves..GO AHEAD AND GO ON STRIKE! The higher paying/vacation time and benifit personel have went on strike and walked off the job. You earn strike pay...no benifits and you can't collect unemployment compensation because it's a labor dispute and YOU walked off the job! So, UPS will just hire replacement workers. Once again...it's going to be hard to sell the public that lifes soooo tough for you when so many people are unemployed and have NO health insurance. How come when you log onto [url]www.TEAMSTERS.org[/url] ....you don't read anything on this big strike talk. So if the National Union don't recognize the Strike vote...why should UPS?? Members of Local 705 and 710 do understand while you're out standing with your signs in front of the UPS buildings at STRIKE PAY, The Union officials that you so proudly voted in office are still COLLECTING FULL PAY AND BENIFITS.
