[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 3980898, member: 8481"] Better negotiators? Maybe they were willing to compromise on certain issues to get some of what they wanted, unlike some other locals. I don't know. I wasn't there. I, we, can only speculate. In this case, yes. They had 4 months. How many more months, or years, do they need? If there was progress, I agree with you. It's called an impasse. UPS was not going to give them what they wanted, and they were not backing off their demands. Even if Hoffa gave them 5 more years, nothing would change. Neither side was backing down. There was no more progress in negotiations. UPS put their cards on the table. A bluff? Possibly. Hoffa had a choice. Vote it or strike, and we all know how that was going to turn out. I cannot disagree. Again, I cannot disagree. [/QUOTE]
