UPS strike vote could land on Trump's desk - CNN Money

The 1,200 mechanics who work on the planes at United Parcel Service have voted overwhelmingly to go on strike.

But a potential strike would have to overcome several hurdles -- including a possible presidential order from Donald Trump to return to work.

The Railway Labor Act, which governs labor law in the airline and railroad industries, requires unions to get the approval of a federal mediator before they can go on strike. If permission is granted, they must then wait through a 30-day cooling off period before striking. And if they do strike, the president order the union back to work within minutes.

There will be no strike.

There will be no strike.

That's what is always said---right before the strike.

It’s important to understand that the vote does not give Local 2727 the right to strike under U.S. labor law.

A strike is not possible unless authorized by the National Mediation Board. The vote is simply a routine show of solidarity common in many negotiations.

The reality is, talks continue to progress under the control of the National Mediation Board. Talks will be completed successfully, just as they have during all previous negotiations with the mechanics.

Not a chance. Ideally, the strike authorization vote should have happened with enough time for all avenues (incl 30 day cooling off period) to pass - allowing a strike threat before peak to take place. Of course the IBT didn't want that threat, so they wait till it's too late and notify the company a threat isn't going to happen anyway. I'm sure this has the company shaking in it's shoes.
Why take a strike authorization vote? What's the point? Good luck Brothers!
