[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1291229, member: 12570"] From what I have read here the BA gathered a bunch of the drivers together inside the building, told them of the firing, and talked them in to staging the walk-out. This was caught on tape by one of the UPS security cameras. Once they were outside the BA got cold feet and told them that the walk-out was illegal, that it could cost them their jobs and that they should all go back to work as they had already punched in and were on the clock at that time. It was at that point that each of the 249 had a decision to make----they all chose to stay outside and were promptly and justifiably terminated. Keep in mind that there were drivers who did not participate in the walk-out, did the right thing and went on road. Had it been a legal and union-sanctioned work stoppage every driver would have walked. We have had 3 drivers fired since the first of the year and at no time did any of us even consider the possibility of walking out in a mass protest. [/QUOTE]
