Strike will definitely happen

[Johney]

Not a chance mother er

 

[DELACROIX]

Neither side wants a strike

Well..that settles that…

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

I know if I was UPS I will do everything in my power to cause a strike. I have to keep my employees at the lowest pay possible even if it's going to cost me millions momentarily with a strike. As long as the employee believe they are getting a great deal is what matters. For example, a 5 to 10 dollar increase, instead of a 10 to 20 dollar increase, I just saved the company billions in the long run. Only way to see the lower limit a strike is a must, if not UPS losses in the long run without a strike.

 

[Commercial Inside Release]

Might as well strike. Either way, UPS is going to extract it's pound of flesh.

Gotta show them who's boss, son!

 

[UnionStrong]

Well..that settles that…

So basically what you’re saying is you’ll be the first to cross the picket line?

Ya that's what he's saying. Total noob.

 

[Brownsocks]

Just lol.

I support a strike if necessary, but your idea of WIN the battle lose the WAR makes no sense. This company will not look the same after we strike, and UPS does not want a strike.

 

[Pullman Brown]

Are you talking about the Great War of Northern Aggression?

Exactly. Lee kick there but many times. Total War . That was the beginning of all the tyranny of government today!

 

[UnionStrong]

We like to call it the civil war but yeah

Jayhawks, sheesh

 

[burrheadd]

Jayhawks, sheesh

Still kickin ass

The whole thing could end with a whimper just on the assumption that most everything getting negotiated this time around is just a refresh of the 2013-2018 contract premise.

UPS has always jumped over a dollar to save a penny. They take back the $2 area rate adjustment, preloaders quit…..then they bring drivers in at $62/hr to work preload at 5AM. I can’t make this stuff up.

It's all about the numbers

That is great…Work hard-play hard.

Rather than looking at the delivery operations as a whole they pit each shift against the other. Every aspect just doesn’t want to look the worst so they aren’t “the problem”.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not a complete maroon. What you mentioned, analyzing the situation simplistically, is correct. But it isn't that simple when you have Amazon, FedEx, and the USPS taking a larger share of the market than they did in 1997. That's what makes a strike an endgame for UPS. They'll never recover to their former glory to make those billions in the long run that they would lose by paying their workers more.

How many clients vowed they would leave forever if another strike occurred?
