[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 853314, member: 18708"] Social and political reasons? I really don't know too many particular details, but using common sense; The whole strike was based upon PR. The Teamsters were arguing that UPS was at it's most profitable and not willing to negotiate a fair contract. UPS was arguing, from what I read, that their volume was "down". If they indeed held out (they don't need to hold out everywhere, perhaps certain areas?) that would establish lower volume numbers and under the scrutiny of the masses, via PR, UPS could somehow establish that the union was acting upon a misnomer and misleading the public with the 'record profits' angle. Again, just a quick guess why. As it turns out, we know who was misleading who. [/QUOTE]
