[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5659644, member: 49065"] In what year was Amazon started, weren’t they just another book store back in the 90’s. Claiming that we do not deliver on Sunday is the main reason for the growth of Amazon is pretty far fetched. I stand by my claim that compared to UPS that started in 1907, they are a fly by night operation, their substantial growth are primarily due to internet purchases and the Pandemic, much like the other Common Carriers like UPS. You failed to mention Fed Ex…they are way more fragile than we are even if we have a strike. Their workforce has to be hurting because of inflationary pressure and any additional work created over a strike will just add to the problem. Again… prime territory for organizing… Any price increases are based on the market demands, Post Office raises their rates so do we, same with the other Common Carriers. Generally we go up 5 to 6 percent a year, most companies do the same, particularly with our inflation rates. When had UPS ever had “6 or 8 losing quarters”, maybe before our time. Agree… Pretty sure O’Brien doesn’t want to strike if he doesn’t have to. One of the false claims about Carey was that he called the strike because of political reasons. O’Brien does not have anywhere near the opposition within his ranks that Carey had, his overwhelming victory over the handpicked Hoffa candidates settled that scenario. First time I heard that, is this conjecture or do you have proof..and really were did you hear this from…? Researched the incident.. official cause of the accident was load shifting. From my understanding the “97” strike was considered peaceful despite of a few hot heads from the other barns. No physical confrontation on our lines, some yelling.. but the members knew what they were doing… [/QUOTE]
