Default UPS/IPA Contract Talks on Ice - AGAIN

"At approximately 5 p.m. today, NMB Senior mediator Linda Puchala decided against scheduling further contract negotiations between IPA and UPS. After spending the better part of one full day with all members of the IPA Negotiation Committee and Executive board, Puchala has concluded that the Association is not prepared to resume bargaining at this time. No new bargaining sessions were scheduled for 2006."

H-m-m-m, things are beginning to get interesting here in toon town. Looks like UPS will get yet another Christmas season out of the current contract. Too bad we'll have to limit the A380 and 747-400 legs to less than 12 hours since we still don't have double crew language for these new jets.
