[QUOTE="IzzyTheNose, post: 3558036, member: 15470"] I don't think that's the case at all. Anyone that has been paying attention since the last strike, has seen the Union agree to concessions on each subsequent contract that has followed. The last contract was held up because of an early promise that we weren't going to pay for our benefits, was broken. Now here we are, a full decade after the recession, where UPS profited in the BILLIONS, even when the automotive industry all but folded in Detroit, and the country saw a massive impact in both the housing market, and the industrial sector. Ecommerce is only GROWING. UPS continues to make more money every year. So why is our slice of the pie getting smaller? People talking about a strike now are merely fed up with the pattern they've been seeing contract after contract. If you ask me, all the strike talk is about 2 contracts too late. At least people now are finally paying close enough attention to give a damn. [/QUOTE]
