[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1892658, member: 1"] In an unqualified show of support the General President and General Secretary-Treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, pledged to the Independent Pilots Association that "if a strike is necessary, we will not cross your lines, but will stand with you on them." This commitment came in a letter to IPA President. "The International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 250,000 workers at United Parcel Service," said IPA President. "This unflinching support from the Teamsters on the eve of our strike vote is exactly what UPS needs to see – we all stand together in support of a new pilot contract." In their letter the General President and General Secretary-Treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters also said, "UPS has continued to stall and drag its feet in completing an agreement with you and your hardworking members. Four years to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement is simply unacceptable," and that, "the Teamsters Union will stand with you in whatever decisions your members make." The IPA will announce the result of its strike authorization vote tomorrow Friday, October 23 at approximately 10:30 a.m. EDT. If approved, the five-pilot IPA Executive Board will have the authority to formally request a release from federally mediated negotiations with UPS, and the discretion to conduct a strike once mediation is concluded. Mutual support between the IBT and the IPA during contract negotiations with UPS runs deep. "The Teamsters have not forgotten the solidarity that your members showed us in 1997, when not one single IPA member crossed our picket lines," said the General President and General Secretary-Treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in reference to the IBT's landmark 16-day strike of UPS.
