[QUOTE="Brown Spider, post: 1301167, member: 52461"] I didn't say that "UPS has no more choices but Arbitration". What I said was the decision on termination was the last decision that UPS gets to make. They do have other choices. They can sit down with Local 804 and attempt to resolve this issue. Or, they can roll the dice and proceed to arbitration. If they choose the latter, it just may be UPS that is at the "Mercy of what an Arbitrator will decide". Whatever you have decided was the correct action to take that day just doesn't matter, does it? You haven't been elected to make those difficult calls. And as far as you "would not want to be one of the 250", I'd have to agree with you on that! The Maspeth 250 showed a lot of courage. They showed that there comes a time when, after seeing countless grievances ignored by UPS and countless contract violations by UPS, there just comes a time when you have to take a stand. The Maspeth 250 took that stand. I'm sensing that, if you were there, they would have been the Maspeth 249. So much for "An injury to one is an injury to all". [/QUOTE]
