[QUOTE="Kicked Your Dog, post: 1708467, member: 51488"] They still wouldn't be able to handle the volume. Too many people let the idea that we can be easily replaced, run crazy in their minds, and most who cave to this fear are scabs in the making. UPS would not be able to effectively replace all the hub, package and feeder employees. A strike would cripple UPS, again, period, and UPS knows this. Tell me how they would be able to hire a brand new workforce, overnight, that would be willing to toil the way we are expected to? A strike is a necessary strategy, at the appropriate time, but there will be consequences on both sides of the table. My Local, 63, has strong solidarity and would band together if a strike was just. We did it in 1997 and aren't afraid to fight for ourselves. We handle our business as the situation calls for. [/QUOTE]
