[QUOTE="Ms.PacMan, post: 1094341, member: 4656"] The union members would not have approved a strike over only the pension without hearing any kind of proposal. You are confusing the Teamster agenda during 1997 with rank and file's agenda. They were not the same. There would have been no strike approval if the pension were the only issue. And if the company had backed down over part time issues during the strike and only left the pension as the reason, then there would have been some serious suspicions from rank and file as to the real reasons the Teamsters were continuing the strike. UPS missed an opportunity to divide the union employees. Most driver's felt like pawns after that strike. The lack of info was from both sides - the Teamsters and UPS. That is the answer to your question. Here's a question for you - if UPS hates the union so much, why didn't they try to divide it? [/QUOTE]
