[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 3577205, member: 52145"] Veterans of the 1997 strike will remember that UPS made us pay for "winning" that strike. layoffs , not adding as many FT jobs as they were supposed to , and not honoring their side of the agreement every chance they got. The only reason they changed was because they had to because the economy picked up so much they had no choice. Many people including myself believed that we really did not win that strike because UPS made sure we paid for it. Now I am going to have to change my mind if this contract goes through. We did win the 97 strike if you look at the big picture. 20 years later it paid off. UPS did not want to risk a repeat of potential strike. Also I think they they monitored sites like this and listened to employees in the break rooms and workplace and realized that workers were fed up and willing to strike. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
