Yep. Hey, did you manage to mangle a couple of people as you drove
through the line? Didja get pictures? ;) I hope the bozos didn't
mess up your truck! Picket liners do seem to love to trash cars. :-P
(Ahhh, my kingdom for a V-10 duallie Ram with a snowplow...) :-)
It never ceases to amaze me just how stupid unions are. Do they really
think that a strike makes the general public sympathetic toward them?? UPS
isn't delaying shipments, its the @##$^* union. Maybe they think we'll
get desperate and pressure UPS to bow to their every whim? Maybe we'll
pressure UPS to fire all their lazy butts and hire a quality staff.
The thing that really gets me is that this whole issue is a non-issue.
UPS is offering their employees more than the union by giving money (that
would go to line the pockets of the external union) to the employees instead.
Thats why your headers are stuck in Lancaster, and that's why I will have
to stop flying very soon because my oil and fuel lines are stuck
who-knows-where.
Oops, but now I'm off topic... ;-)
