[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 5639001, member: 60485"] My first week of strike in 1997 I received a zero dollars. The second week I received the $55 check and paid about $20 in union dues out of that. That taught me quite a bit about saving for a strike. Having said that this time I will receive almost $800 weekly starting the first week from the international and My local. My point to you for the blue-collar person not everything is about money when you’re trying to make a stand. The company will lose far more, probably more than it would cost to just give us the fair contract in the first place. All things being equal I hope the company and the union come to terms. As someone who claims to be pro Union, your comparisons are curious. Who do you feel Ended up in a better position after 1997 RPS/FedEx ground employees or UPS employees? Sometimes you have to sacrifice…. [/QUOTE]
