With 250 drivers fired, who delivered the packages?

Why didn't UPS & 804 issue a joint press release when this started?
Something addressing the main issues, along the lines of:

1. UPS & 804 remain dedicated to fair, equitable treatment of all employees.
2. We acknowledge our shortcomings in addressing some employee concerns.
3. Procedural reviews have been initiated to identify & correct these problems.
4. Disciplinary action for all involved is hereby stayed until our
review is completed.
5. However UPS cannot abide independent strike action that harms our most valuable
resource....our customers.
6. Upon completion of our procedural reviews, those participating in said incident will be subject
to sanctions mutually agreed upon by UPS, Local 804, and The International Brotherhood Of
Teamsters.

Then you close the door, sit down and work out a solution.
The public, shareholders and customers are reassured.
UPS & The Teamsters present a more united, cohesive front while the knockout, drag down stuff stays in private...where it belongs.

this color font burns my corneas...lol

Yes in a perfect world that might work, but too much abuse and hatred prevails in most buildings. Members do not trust management. And management always treats us guilty until proven innocent. You are right a new mindset is needed on both sides. Maybe someone can be that conduit to call a RE BOOT or RE START. Things have escalated too fast and too extreme. Maybe a big name with no real interest who both sides trusts can come in and work out a settlement now without a long arbitration process.

Just like they apologized for the peak mess? Or made any kind of a real statement!

Brown apologize? That would require them to publicly admit that they don't know their a****le from their elbow!

This would actually be great except you have to remember UPS never ever ever admits to any wrong doing.
