[QUOTE="fedupups, post: 1301194, member: 46733"] UPS will fire all 250 eventually...what will happen in arbitration will happen...I doubt 10% of the drivers fired have enough in the savings account to wait even 3 months or so for a ruling( it took over 12 months to get 2 stewards their job back from Melville)...everyone agrees that UPS abuses the contract daily nationwide...unfortunately its their (UPS) mentality is to say grieve it because everything from the master contract to the supplement we have sux...we have given up so much in previous years and when this new supplement hits we will be given up more but that's a different thread...99% percent of drivers in Melville will never do another wildcat strike engineered by this local...the only way for a work stoppage would have to be Hoffa sanctioned and we all know that will never happen....this boards biggest cardinal sin is put 250 jobs in jeopardy for 1...and what hasn't been bought up so much is that I have heard from Dave O himself that the fired driver was a friend of this board...I wonder if Liam would have done the same thing for an anti-board member...but I hope they do figure a way for the drivers to get their jobs back asap...and I count myself lucky only to have received a 3 day suspension from the Melville wildcat and not get fired as my family and I cannot afford to lose a $90000/year job even though this company kicks u in the nuts everyday [/QUOTE]
