Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.
Are you inferring, that if the pilots strike (and the Teamsters support them)
That.... it means UPS Teamsters would strike also ?
Help me out.

H did not say that we will strike. Contractually, we cannot.
H did say that we will support the pilots and refuse to cross any picket line.
So even if scabs fly the planes, who will pickup, sort and deliver the air?
No Teamster will.
Good luck with that UPS.

Ups should settle that contract. 4 years is a load of crap. Somehow Fedex can settle their contract and Fred S spends millions a year on right to work and all kinds of anti unions legislation. Their contract is settled. Shame on ups.

So if there is a picket line outside your operation, you do not go to work.
That is what the pilots did here. We had a small crew with a line at the airport and they did not cross.

UPS was waiting to see what FedEx paid before deciding to settle ours.

Exactly.
And all the major hubs will have pilots picketing, effectively shutting UPS down.
But even if they did not picket the hubs, the air operation is shut down and UPS will pay a price that their checkbook cannot afford.

If there is a picket line at your building, and there will be if they strike, you will join it or cross it? The pilots aren't going to just picket airports.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make their way up to the BOG.

Any union member who crosses a picket line should have their cards pulled immediately, which in closed shops results in loss of job. The, "I live paycheck paycheck and have a family," line doesnt mean crap. So do most American workers. This is the same guy who always uses words like, "me" and "I", and never attends a union meeting buy insist on complaining on union matters.

It should be asked why ups has dragged this out for so long...it's just like when the 250 guys in New York walked out. The original driver was told by mgt he could start early, then they walked him out... Huh what sense does that make. Maybe it's the company that has the problem not the other way around
