[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 5369777, member: 26800"] I think making money the main reasons for striking will not be understood by many and may give UPS the edge in the public relations arena. It is my observation that out country and the media of our country are not naturally sympathetic to unions. I believe first and foremost the employees have to create sympathy for themselves by letting them know how bad UPS is as an employer, not how much of their money you want them to share. I am not saying UPS is all bad , I am saying that the public needs to know about as many of the horrible working conditions, lies, lack of management integrity, retaliation, unsafe work culture, fake safety focus, etc. etc. UPS public relations will certainly be letting everyone know all the great benefits to being an employee for UPS and there are benefits that do exceed many blue collar workers, I think if money is the upfront issue then this will create a public sentiment against the union in a potential strike. I believe once you have the public sympathy for the UPS employees fighting against the horrible working conditions and management tactics and if you can get any media to jump on this angle then you can start pressing UPS to reach into their deep pockets and pay their employees a fair share that is deserved.
