[QUOTE="Blackstream, post: 3720645, member: 49052"] If we can't even vote no on a contract we don't agree with, much less strike, why do we even have a union? We're basically just being forced to accept whatever the company will give us at that point. There's also the last scary option. This actually is the best contract we can get in the competitive environment we have today. Like somehow we're pushing it despite it being worse than previous contracts, and if we pushed anymore, UPS's competitors would edge us out and we'd fail as a company. That option is the worst because it means that we're all boned because things will only get worse. Either this becomes a :censored: job with a toothless union quickly, or it becomes a :censored: job with a toothless union slowly. Just gotta hope you get to retire and die before the golden goose is completely killed. [/QUOTE]
