Do you read the newspaper about the huge number of job losses and bankruptcies outside of UPS?

"allow this to happen"? You are confused and have grossly unrealistic expectations regarding the power of a union, IMO.

Mark my words-- UPS is about to have some of the best years in the 108 year history of this company!!

-Competition is gone
-oil is down
-they must be confident if they are buying back billions in their own stock
-buying airplanes
-fed is pumping money into the economy

I'll stand by my point, if we casually allow guys to be tossed to the street for years, this organization is done for!
