They already had the tickets.

A point you guys are missing, regarding why the stewards didn't debate the matter with Liam and stop him.
He had already pulled the stewards out of the building. They weren't there to agree or disagree.
I'm eager to hear about the result of their national panel. I suppose later this week or next week we will find out what the arbitration is? Then you 804s can tell us what the result is of all this.

Are the 100+ drivers that walked out working(working termination) or are they sitting at home? If at home, how do they have the drivers in reserve to cover the routes? Bringing in management from other areas? Either way, if management has not put up x number of bids, then they will be back. It takes a while to train that many drivers.

I really don't think UPS having to train a couple of hundred drivers would be that big of deal anymore. Apparently UPS doesn't really care about "service" anymore. They have no problem making their drivers lie about "emergency conditions" or other made up service problems just to justify their numbers so why couldn't they cover up this mess with a bunch of new low paid part timers looking to go full time. A week or two of a truck load of other management being brought into help train (?) and it would be business as normal. Sure there would be a back log but as proved by the Christmas Dallas mess but that would eventually get ironed out. As terrible as this sounds I do believe it is possible. I wish all these guys luck-----I think they are going to need it. I hope I'm wrong.

No terminations or working terminations. All drivers are on the road.

That's great. Everyone must be walking on pins and needles or am I wrong? I really have a hard time believing UPS will just let this go.

Good to hear.
I find this odd. They fire a guy over something that most drivers found trivial enough to walk out over, yet they don't try and fire the drivers that walked out on their jobs. Was there any discipline handed out at all?

The National Docket has side tracked things.

The IBT needs to stop playing politics and step in before this local is left with nothing! Let's not forget there are others involved that have nothing to do with walkout.

If the drivers from maspeth get fired!! Will they lawyer up against local 804?

Uh.....for what? The guy was telling them that they all may get fired that should have been decision time, stand there and risk losing your job or go to work.
