[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1093869, member: 31414"] Prior to any type of strike action..... I truly believe there are a number of tactics that our Union could use to "negotiate" 1) Slowdown? Wiki Definition: A slowdown may be used as either a prelude or an alternative to a strike, as it is seen as less disruptive as well as less risky and costly for workers and their union. Striking workers usually go unpaid and risk being replaced, so a slowdown is seen as a way to put pressure on management while avoiding these outcomes. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowdown]Slowdown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] 2) Immediate ENFORCEMENT of Existing Contract. (EVERY driver call in over 70's..etc.) (Massive filing of grievances...harassment, 9.5's, supervisors working, etc... 3) Begin a negative PR campaign showing UPS as the poster child of "Corporate Greed". Quite easy considering part-time wages, etc... 3) Working without a contract. 4) Just the threat of the strike will send our stock price plummeting.....giving our Board of Directors and Atlanta management a whole NEW reason to settle the contract in a fair and equitable manner. Please people.....I love the enthusiasm but there are smarter alternatives at this time other than discussing the sole likelihood of a strike action... [/QUOTE]
