[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3984401, member: 49065"] So..What are the differences with our membership and our current leadership between l997 and 2018..What you stated was probably bantered about 21 years ago. In 97 in our local we had only 2 members out of over a thousand who crossed on the first day, after that not. Where are you getting that 75 percent, is it the from the part time work members who consist of about 65 percent of the total UPS membership? From my years of experience they could care less if they were on strike or locked out, consider the pathetic starting wage or 10 or 13 dollars per hour. McDonalds pays better and you are not risking your health or stress at being yelled at. We gave the IBT a 96 percent strike authorization..In "97" our strike vote was raising hands at our local union hall..It was over 96 percent. Granted only about 20 percent of our membership bothered to return the vote, but that percentage was probably the same in "97" OK..Now seriously who exactly is to Blame.. [/QUOTE]
