[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5641417, member: 49065"] I got the general feeling that this is a done deal. Settled soon… The feds have laid down the law, this labor agreement has been on their radar for years, both political parties are in agreement, that is why you are hearing no support for the Company from either side. The acting labor secretary non verbals about mediation is a dead give away. No indication of a major drop of UPS stock in the markets would be another indicator. UPS is just trying to save a nickel or two, they already settled the non-economic issues and all the supplements and riders already. When this Contract is settled UPS will have a good excuse for further restructuring of their management, raise their shipping costs and get back to enjoying their profit sharing and keeping their shareholders happy. There is a reason that we only had two nationwide strikes in our history. If this coming tentative gets passed and the rest of the targeted unorganized workers see our massive improvements. Their overlords will have to pay up or face more political and economical pressures for collective bargaining. In the long run if UPS gets generous with this one it will help them complete and provide a more level playing field. [/QUOTE]
