[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 58847"] Air, The Teamsters going after UPS's non-union membership in their new subsidiary is very valid, the union has stated that is their goal. Separate facilities might slightly hamper a union drive, but would certainly not stop such a drive. I don't think anything short of legitimate job viability threats is likely to prevent it's ultimate success. The union on the other hand has a valid concern that UPS may try to transfer business now done by Teamsters to their non-union subsidiary. It is an old ploy and I remember hearing the term "shiny wheels" even back in the 70's. As all those companies that played those games are out of business and their employees moved on so it would not be beneficial for either side in my opinion. Regardless, hopefully cooler heads will perservere and this can all be worked out to the profit of the corporation and the employees. [/QUOTE]
