[QUOTE="gman, post: 53411"] I was not in favor of the strike either but come contract time it is the only leverage you have. Without at least the threat of a work stoppage, we may get flushed down the toilet. Count on lost benefits, co-pays, less vacation and losing what little control you have over over-time to mention a few if they get their way. They raise the weight limits, size limits, stop counts and planned days with a key stroke on a computer. Mangement has lost benefits, has big co-pays and have recently had their bonus structure re-modeled (which is shere UPS showed most of their profits last quarter). The only thing that matters are the numbers. They know it, we know it, the customers know it, the stock holders know it and our competitors know it. Personally, I think the second hundred years at UPS are going to be a lot tougher than the first for everybody, mangement and hourly alike. The guys at the top are making decisions with their stock options in mind. The higher they get the stock by the time they retire, the bigger the payoff when they go and most of them will be gone before the next contract. [/QUOTE]
