[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3550885, member: 58386"] Current ISP's ,CSP's etc who were not around for the 97 strike should not underestimate the impact of another good old fashion UPS/IBT street brawl. The 97 strike lasted for 16 days. Hours of service were suspended and the guys at my barn were out there for every one of those 16 days. We'd go in at 5AM and nobody got back before 10 PM. Forward thinking contractors are no doubt out there today looking for additional assets both machine and human that can be pressed into service as early as July in order to handle what could be a steady uptick in July volume ahead of a possible strike. Will there be a strike?. Right now I put the odds at about 1 in 3. At the same time one must proceed on the belief that an agreement will not be reached until the final hours and should plan accordingly. If there is a strike will Trump intervene? The wild card in all of this is that it is an election year and Trump if he's true to his nature will take whatever action best serves Donald Trump. [/QUOTE]
