[QUOTE="Observer, post: 3735483, member: 50589"] There will be no strike. The company doesn't want bad publicity nor do the stockholders. The company realizes that they are now for the fight for their business life as there is more and more competition. Remember how UPS was known for their clean trucks and how professional looking the drivers looked? So they cut corners - now we drive dirty trucks and wear horrible cheap looking uniforms that don't last. We are like Fed Ex whose workers suffer the same indignity. Finally spending all this money on building improvements is a little too late. If you will notice UPS is starting to focus more on their European and Asain markets. I have a question of the following contract negotiations since 1997, how many times have the employees actually voted to approve the proposed contract the first time it was presented? The one good thing with this current proposed contract is it an EYE OPENER so that the rank and file sees that the union is more about pleasing the company than the people that are supposed to represent.
