[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 888759, member: 37112"] The strike in 1976 was the first two weeks of May (at least it was in the Central). I'm not sure if much language improved but the wages went up .50, .50 and .65 (three yr book) with a COLA that jacked up the .50 to .74, the second .50 to .72 if my memory is accurate. Not bad considering we went in at less than 7.50 hr. There was no two tier wages and part timers made nearly the full time wage. The surepost deal really is more defensive for UPS than most understand. FedEx is doing Smartpost causing UPS's customers to demand the same pricing. UPS could say no way but risk losing all the volume from those customers. The post office ought to get out of the parcel business completely and stop subsidizing parcel delivery with first class. Then we'd all live happily ever after. [/QUOTE]
