Didn't necessarily mean an independent union.

Mutually Assured Strike Support MASS would have superiority and shot-calling authority over the entire industry at once. One union is a unicorn fantasy in the PAX industry. However, if there will only ever be two oxen pulling the wagon, we can either fight with each other, or we can cooperate, and use our combined brute force to turn on the man holding the whips and chains, dominating him with impunity in perpetuity. That said, a Fighter 2-ship will always be more effective against an enemy than a 1-ship. The way it ought to be working now is that we want the other other Super Dog to get a contract that is WAY better than our contract. Then we go to our Master and say we want a contract that is WAY better than the other Dogs'. And so on, and so on... |

Also, he knows that 99.9% of the forum members here don't respect him as a man…and why should we? Scab=no conscience, no honor, no integrity. If a man doesn't have these qualities, what good is he? |
Here's your guaranteed, take it to the bank, predicted announcement date for the Postal contract. Our Purple brothers say it's "shortly." Can't get more certain than that. I figure the contract attorneys on retainer at USPS can squeeze another week's worth of billable hours out of this deal, especially with the Saturday delivery issue. $250 X 40 hours=$10k of easy money for them. I bet shortly means by the end of next week, or by April 26th.
FedEx Corp. said it expects a decision “shortly” from The U.S. Postal Service on whether it will continue providing domestic air transportation services for its First-Class, Priority and Express Mail services. The Memphis-based shipping giant disclosed that it anticipates a contract announcement soon in its most recent quarterly regulatory filing. The U.S. Postal Service has solicited proposals for the delivery of these services after FedEx Express’ current contract ends in Sept. 2013. FedEx warned that the services could be transitioned to another provider, and that even if the Memphis-based company does retain the contract, the terms and conditions of the new arrangement may be “less favorable.” FedEx also said that any changes in the Postal Service’s operations, network, services offerings or pricing could have an adverse result on FedEx’s financial results. Because the independent government agency is both a customer and a vendor for FedEx, the Postal Service’s financial struggles could also have an adverse impact on FedEx. The Postal Service has said it could run out of money if Congress does not allow it to change its business model and increase profitability. Yesterday, The Postal Service said it would not end Saturday delivery of first-class mail, citing Congressional opposition.

I'm sure the announcement is in the mail. I say it will be announced by the end of April, but I'm not willing to commit to a specific year. |

I'll narrow it down to the day ! It will be a Friday afternoon announcement in 2013 ... ;) :D |
Instead of trying to guess the Day it is finally announced, how about the Final Percentage.
FDX-61% UPS-24% Others-15% |
Guess

FDX-61% UPS-24% Others-15% goes right along with their slogan - expectation zero |
UPS 70%
Fedex 20% Jims parcel delivery, tire, & haircare 10% Take it to the bank :p |
I see all 44 recalled and 100 new hires by year's end. (Yeah, I said it).
|
I think you are absolutely correct
|
Welcome back, AF!
hope you are correct |

Sort like NURPS telling us every 6 months in recurrent that the company had planned on recalling everybody but something always comes up. Let's see, 44 furloughed families save UPS 6-8 million a year when they make 4 billion a year and line holders can't trip trade due to staffing. I hope they return sooner than later, but I'm not holding my breath for any good news. |

Seinfeld is just as bad as AfLousiville. He has is nose up some ACP's butt and knows Zip about anything. Just some guy who got through the cracks and has no grasp.
Actually the way he blows sunshine, hopefully is an ACP. |
scab

I am a gentleman. I will withhold my public feelings. If you want to meet and discuss this, pm me

I hope UPS gets none of the postal contract....

Nope. It's called observing the facts. Of course Davis says we can absorb it into the system. What else could he say?

I've heard the reason for the delay is congress is in negotiations with UPS for them to completely take over the post office. They figure with UPS' new math and their interpretation of labor contract language, they could eliminate half the workforce without any service disruption! Hey, UPS didn't buy that brownstone on K Street for nothing! ;)

So you're saying you would assault someone for telling you what you are to your face. I'm sure someone would be happy to have some of your retirement after the assault. |
Never said I would assault anyone. Just said that a coward wouldn't be brave enough to say that to my face

Speaking of gentlemen, Jack London had this to say: "Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared with a scab." He said more but I thought this sentence appropriate, Sir Gentleman. |

ONCE A SCAB, ALWAYS A SCAB - NEVER FORGET! "A SCAB takes your job, a Job he could not get under normal circumstances. He can only advance himself by taking advantage of labor disputes and walking over the backs of workers trying to maintain decent wages and working conditions. He helps management to destroy his and your profession, often ending up under conditions he/she wouldn't even have scabbed for. No matter. A SCAB doesn't think long term, nor does he think of anything other then himself. His smile shows fangs that drip with your blood, for he willingly destroys families, lives, careers, opportunities and professions at the drop of a hat. He takes from a striker what he knows he could never earn by his own merit: a decent Job. He steals that which others earned at the bargaining table through blood, sweat and tears, and throws it away in an instant - ruining lives, jobs and careers." |

Hardly a coward, SCAB. I guess the truth hurts.

My bad. I don't have an MBA. :-)

I guess AF is busy looking for another picket line to cross.

I recently heard one notion about the announcement holdup. UPS is negotiating with the teamsters and doesn't want the postal announcement made until the ink is dry on the contract.
Hmmm. |

That might be true. UPS wanted to settle with the Teamsters by 3/31. It did not happen
