Only because UPS says so. The former IPA guys gave up their seniority number when they went to management. What would happen if I quit in disgust today, go work for someone else for a few years, then changed my mind and somehow managed to get myself hired back (yeah far-fetched that UPS would rehire, but indulge me for the sake of argument)? Would UPS/IPA give me my original date of hire or the new one? I would guess those former IPAers will be the sticking point to making this pass. And I really don't see many of them taking downgrades, even for the work rules.
There is no way those guys will go for it if they are stapled.....we'll have to give them DOH.

I agree with the person that said you have to look at the big picture. If this is voted down, it will only hurt us in the long run. IMO
