[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 866107, member: 12570"] There is a difference between public sector and private company unions. UPSers should be following the Verizon work stoppage as there are a lot of similarities between the two companies. Both companies had record or near record profits. These profits were generated by divisions within the company other than the "main player" (landline/ground). The unionized hourly employees at Verizon were asked to accept 100 or so contract concessions, refused to and are now on strike. Management are being trained to perform basic technician tasks. I think Mother Nature may actually have the best shot at settling this contract dispute as the company is ill-equipped to deal with an extended outage due to a major storm using mgt to make repairs. I will be following this to see what effect, if any, this may have on us in 2013. [/QUOTE]
