That was a GREAT post. Thanks!

I had an interesting conversation with my UPS driver a couple of weeks ago. His support for the pilots was unequivocal. I was hired not long after the 97 strike, and while in the airport in Detroit I had a Teamster come up to me and thank me for the support the pilots gave them during the strike. The management moles don't understand (are you listening?) that UPS corporate culture has nurtured an environment among labor that promotes a feeling of disdain for the company. We, as labor, are not seen as assets to the company but as liabilities. We are certainly not seen as human beings. The rest of our union brethren WILL walk with us because it will be another opportunity to take a poke at the Big Brown Bully. The sad thing is it doesn't have to be like that. But remember moles (are you listening?) you reap what you sow.
