[QUOTE="lovcgars, post: 1305225, member: 6926"] Brown Spider, I know longer work for UPS; terminated years ago. This particular UPS/Union fight is very interesting, I can't imagine why UPS would allow everyone of the 250 drivers to return to work. This would set a major precedence, that would give the green light for work stoppages nationwide at any and all UPS buildings. If they let it fly here, there would be walkouts all over the country anytime someone is fired. I don't remember any language in the contract when I was working that allowed for a temporary work stoppage due to a disagreement over the termination of an employee. The original driver will perhaps return to his position, just can't think of a reason UPS would not make an example of at least a few people. I feel for the drivers and their families, its a tough economy out there and not a great time to be looking for a job. I do remember in my years at UPS and being a shop steward, things are never what they seem. Their local representation that organized that work stoppage should be removed from his position, if people are losing their jobs; let him be first. [/QUOTE]
