No one would have started diverting volume until a strike was actually called. We all knew a strike would not be called, and under the circumstances the Union was not required to call a strike, so negotiations could have continued. The reason UPS posted their intention to return to the bargaining table was excactly to assure customers that service would not be disrupted. That was the first, major indication of UPS's weakness in the bargaining process, and was really time for the Union to pounce. They just threw away an opportunity to demonstrate just how strong a Union could be by owning UPS, but I guess we all know it's really the other way around. Sad.</p></blockquote><p></p>
