[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 968651, member: 37112"] What is sad in my mind is how deluded you are. The '97 agreement was a done deal (hand shake) as of Thursday July 31. No strike was called for Friday August 1 because of the temp agreement reached on Thursday. UPS came back on Friday with the restructured proposed final offer that caused the strike, knowing full well a public offering was in the works for the near future. This was obviously done to attempt to sweeten that IPO. The exact labor package that was accepted 2 1/2 weeks later was the one temporary agreed to on Thursday. [B]UPS[/B] took that money out of EVERYONES pocket by playing chicken with the wrong guy. Foolish, foolish greedy move that costs billions in lost revenue still reverberating even today. Do you have any idea of the reduced wage/benefit package that was offered compared to what was accepted. UPS union employees made their losses back ten fold in little time, and remarkably UPS continued to set record profits even as they flat out lied in those negotiations predicting doom if they accepted that contract. If you're actually in IE, you should be thanking Ron Carey as all employees wage structure is based on the union contract. [/QUOTE]
