[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1106184, member: 31414"] Greetings 2BOver: Welcome to [COLOR=#800000]BrownCafe[/COLOR] as I see you recently joined us at the beginning of this year. The general tone of your comments obviously points to the fact that you are against labor disputes. You'll be happy to know that most of us are also..............UNTIL greed or other issues exist that require some level of sacrifice and risk. I will have to respectfully disagree with you that, "[COLOR=#008000][I]strikes are bad for everyone involved and they don't accomplish anything[/I][/COLOR]". I won't go into detail however, I suggest that you read some history books on labor unions and the sacrifices they made for this country and the working man. It's interesting that you mention about our "customer base going away". The reason I say that is, I was just thinking today, that the best way to deal with a potentially Greedy Wall Street Focused CEO is to hit him where it hurts the most.......No....not there ......in the pocket....the wallet....where they keep all their money. I am EXTREMELY confident that we will NEVER have to go on strike IF we Union members play this game smart. IF....and I repeat IF....UPS wants to remain greedy during these negotiations....all we have to do is NOT settle....and keep working... Working without a contract will cause UPS to temporarily lose a lot of business. A lot of business equal a lot of money. Losing a lot of money will cause Wall Street investors to drop UPS stock like a rock... UPS CEO's .....especially those that were educated at Wharton Business School in PA....do NOT want our stock to drop.
