[QUOTE="705red, post: 250807, member: 5229"] When you strike of course there will be losses on both sides from lost revenue and customers from the companies side and lost wages and possibly job losses imediately after a strike as in 97. But as we all know anyone that was employeed here before the strike, we have seen $10 an hour in actual raises, more added to our pension, health and welfare, prescription cards for p-timers, stronger overtime language, etc. Not all of it came immediately but this is all since the 97 strike which is over 2 contracts. While we wait for the details in full on this new offer from the company, its to early to talk strike talk. If the contract would get voted down they would have to go back to the table and continue negioating, it does not mean that we would be walking a picket line during xmas or even next aug. But all this anti strike, anti union messaging from this sites administration is very shocking to many of us, is ups pushing you to sell this contract for them? Lastly a strike is the unions last resort and strongest bargaining weapon while negioating, it is a very serious issue but we are jumping the gun here way to quick. [/QUOTE]
