No. Just asking for clarification.
You have a problem with France I take it.

I thought it was amazing audacity and an amazing lack of class for ALPO/ASTAR to picket UPS headquarters.
That is the overwhelming opinion of all my UPS/IPA brothers here that I talk with.

[QUOTE=⌐ [COLOR=black]However, one thing I never agreed with was to picket UPS headquarters. I think it was very counterproductive to protest UPS since Big Brown had nothing to do with DHL's business decision and our management wouldn’t be doing their job of promoting growth if they didn’t jump on this opportunity.

AW, this is a common misconception as well. If you will check out the submitted testimony from the Transportation hearing, you will see that Mullen clearly states that UPS approached them with the idea of taking over all air ops. So I'd say yes, UPS management has a lot to do with this.
And for the record, I don't recall an instance of you kicking us while we're down.

We are all waiting for the OVERWHELMING opinion. Best you check with your comrades first.

Ok the mobile billboard did say that. And maybe it wasn't the classiest thing to do, picketing UPS. But when your fighting for your job and you think that might help your chances of keeping a 200,000K job, then I say go for it. I hope some of the IPA/UPS guys can understand that.
You on the other hand are not at risk of losing your job and you are showing no class at all.

I know a good number of UPS folks and I think the opinions expressed here are not that of the group as a whole. Let these guys spout, but don't hold it against their brethren.
