I'm intrigued by their endgame. Teamsters are well-known to follow through on their threat to strike. Unemployment is low, so it's unlikely that many members will be scabs. There's no way to contract out any significant portion of the missing labor. When the strike happens, UPS will be hemorrhaging money.
What am I missing? It seems labor has management by the balls, but they aren't acting like it.
What's with mega-corporations' unwillingness to bargain?
Waiting and begging for legislative treats from Congress is essentially a billion dollar version of a "government welfare freeloader".
Well, you see, they can’t give the workers anything as that would go against their profits.
If this does lead to a strike I hope it hurts their wallets, it’s the only way they’ll take notice.
Strike! Strike! Strike!
SOAK 'EM FOR CRUTCHIE!
