Also, I would like to note that I have talked to the union many times in the last 5 weeks including some EB folks and they say it just can't, won't, never has and will not happen. Didn't the Captain of the Titanic say something like that. Also, the post 911 furlough was not only not executed becasue of the opentime threat, but becasue there were over 60 guys gone on mil leave and they, UPS, didn't know for how long or how many more would be called ? Put your faith in the union, but don't be stupid to take only their veiw of the situation, Read Read Read.
Good luck to you on your mil leave! You can now put your mind at ease. You've made a choice, one which many don't have the ability to do, and we'll see you when you're done. Thanks for your service!
