[QUOTE="MostHelpNeeded, post: 5644731, member: 66806"] Just a thought.... Anyone remember when UPS had us all write letters to our senators or congressmen or whatever back when Obama was president? Something about changing the law Fedex falls under so we could organize them easier. They paid us to write letters, that came from corporate. It didn't work, but clearly UPS would of loved to see Fedex Unionized. Sean wants Amazon, that's obvious. Knowing UPS obviously wanted to help the Teamsters with Fedex, would they not want the same with Amazon? The time is right, and what better way to go after a behemoth like Amazon, than to show the world how the Teamsters union was able to beat down a corporate giant to make huge gains for all members. Hold out, as long as possible and have to cave at the last moment... Jim Casey invited the Teamsters in pre-emptively because he saw the future of the labor movement and wanted to get ahead of it. Is it so crazy to think UPS would invite them again to help level the playing field. UPS knows they can make a killing while paying good wages, They would love to see Amazon try to do the same. TLDR, It's theatre [/QUOTE]
