I wonder if this be considered or factored in to the negotiations in any type of way

Nope RLA, they will not be on strike anytime soon if ever.

If we stop the industry crawls. No more no less.

It doesn't even resemble the company I started with in the mid 80's. We recovered from the 1997 strike just fine.

In 1997, there wasn't competition ready to deliver what we didn't del on weekends, including Sunday.

I agree, does not resemble.

Amazing amount foot dragging on both sides, curiously, no sense of urgency.

They all have to fly places , and I’m sure have other things to do . I know Sean was busy dealing with yellow

On a side note the biggest lames are the guys who jumped on disability last week or in the last few weeks. Scared of the loss of paycheck and don’t want to picket. I have no respect for anyone that does that. We had two do it last week. If you are on disability you still get paid. Total pusillanimous probably getting screamed at by their wives that they can’t afford the loss of income.

Everyone I know that’s gone on disability has a hell of a time getting paid. I’ve never been on it, but most people had to wait as long as 8-10 weeks to get their first checks(back pay included).

Once it gets going your good. Until they cut you off.

No sense of urgency because the outcome has already been settled. They know what the new contract is offering, if there is going to be a strike and if so how long it will last. This is all planned in advance and peons are NOT privy to this information until the last moment. .

You were right. This contract came out awful fast for just meeting today

Why do people keep saying this? They’ve been meeting for months…

Teamsters told them the lowest they would accept, and ups came with it today,

They should pay the late fees

There was a $30B jump in just 20 days-----don't tell me they were talking back and forth behind the scenes. Fred Z even hinted at significant wage increases at one of his rallies.

So with a TA in hand are the "lame-os" who went on disability to ensure they got paid during the strike are suddenly going to feel all better and go back to work as though nothing happened.

Then why the big production? They go from no more money to give to resuming talks on tues. Or today. And voila! We have a deal in like 30 minutes. Just seemed really fast that’s all. Anybody hear about improvements to retirement? Or did that stay the same?

Disability is a serious issue. No one wants to be disabled and even though we’re anonymous here we shouldn’t pick on disabled members.
IMO it’s a personal decision between doctor and patient and off limits for the rest of us.

Go back and read the context from which @brett636 and I made our posts.
