Thinning the herd? And you might be right on the money. I don’t think our current IBT administration woukd even do a 1 hour strike let alone a day or a week. Tony made that clear that it would crush UPS into nonexistence. It didn’t in 97 for 2 weeks, but today absolutely?Could it be it's not UPS and their existence that the IBT is worried about, rather their own?
UPS is their cash cow, making it possible for many small locals, joint councils, and few redundant state conferences to persist, with "autonomy".
What do you think would happen to that Teamster fat if there was a strike of any significant length?
