    UPS could find Hair Furor's ire if this isn't resolved. And then someone will tell him it's all the union's fault, and he's going to claim that 6% of GDP is dependent upon you. With a full 1/16th of our nation dependent upon your company's operation, he might try to pull a Reagan and bust the strike in the name of national safety. He'll manufacture the safety portion of that argument.

        It would be nice to see every labor union in the country go out. An honest to god general strike. And then have consumers observe the strike, not cross lines, and maybe extend the strike in their own non-union shops, themselves.

        The people have all the power, they just don't know it. Between labor and, maybe more importantly now, consumption, we could force our politicians to the bargaining table and start to claw back some of our basic rights and dignity from the 1%. Not even the rich have enough cops and soldiers to stop that.

              Trump busting strikers fighting for newer, better paying jobs for others while fighting the will of union bosses? Let’s see how well that would go...

              That’s actually something that CNN reported well on. There’s a power struggle in the Teamsters right now between a group of UPS workers who are tired of conciliatory contracts negotiated by Hoffa and co. The big thing in all of this is that while Hoffa was reelected as the Union head, he lost a majority of votes in the US (his votes in Canada carried him) and among UPS workers to this group. So the group of Hoffa opponents is campaigning hard for members to reject the contract.

              The big sticking point is that UPS wants to start 7 day service. To accomplish that the company wants add more drivers but not at the normal drivers pay rate but instead create a second job class and pay them a lower wage, i.e. same work but lower pay. It’s a ridiculous proposal considering record profits recently and the new corporate tax breaks, it should’ve been rejected immediately but apparently not.

                    Probably not.

                    Also the “part-time workers make $15 an hour” is a lie, maybe some do but all start at $10.10 (was $8.50 when I started) and progress from there.
