[QUOTE="35years, post: 3292220, member: 60822"] 5 drivers where? Nationwide? You were not at UPS at the time so how would you know how they were treated? We had none cross in our entire state. 99%+ did not cross nation-wide. The one driver here who talked to the press about not supporting the strike (but not crossing) was gone within 1 year... [B]See if any of this sounds like present day... In 1997:[/B] There was a great deal of talk before the strike that drivers would cross. The nation was still in the aftermath of the air traffic controller's strike and their eventual replacement. Many union employees had been taking sub-standard deals. Unions were defiantly considered to have much less bargaining power than previously. Many were talking about the decline and probable elimination of unions as a whole. UPS had a arrogant attitude towards the union employees. The economy was starting to boom with low unemployment. The nation as a whole was becoming resentful that lower rung employees were not benefiting from the economic prosperity like the corporate big wigs. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes things have to go bad before they get better. It is always darkest before the dawn. I believe people are fed up with corporate greed/executive salaries. I think UPS employees are fed up with being treated as just parts of the corporate machine, especially after this peak. I think UPS might have a difficult time finding new quality employees if we do walk. I would not rule out a strike. [/QUOTE]
