[QUOTE="Justaloader, post: 4428554, member: 77989"] Good luck getting something like this to happen today (I notice this article was from 2014). Getting the workforce to stand together, the Union to back the workforce, and customers to support the effort with what's going on in the world right now? Not saying it's impossible - but it'd be one hell of an undertaking. The workers are calling this a win, and it's worth noting that it's a win that came through the willingness of 250 people to risk their own jobs to stand up to the boss and to save the job of one of their colleagues. But the wildcat action had to be backed up with organizing both inside the union and within the community (and sympathetic elected officials who owe their positions to union support certainly didn't hurt, either). It can require quite a lot of pressure to bring a massive company like UPS to the table, but the workers succeeded. The WFP's Lipton says, “When workers stand together in solidarity they can still win against one of the biggest corporations in America." [/QUOTE]
