[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 53410"] I agree with gman. I am not in favor of a strike and I don't see it feasible that we will have one as it would be bad for us, UPS and the Teamsters. However, a workforce that guarantees UPS that they won't strike no matter what UPS offers them will get record concessions. It isn't so much what you get, it's what you can lose. Job loss for lower seniority people and several weeks worth of wages is not trivial for sure, but it is nothing compared to what unfettered concessions can do to our future. I have been here since 1973 and the 2008 economics and political environment will most likely be the most worker unfriendly situation we have been in. Look for probably significant medical concessions IF the union DOES a good job of portraying a union supportive workforce and far far worse if they cannot. [/QUOTE]
