UPS strike - The Sweet Scent of Success!

Posted by: Siamak ( UK ) on August 22, 1997 at 00:17:16:

UPS strikers have brought the largest courier company in the world to its knees and won all their major demands + pay rise. All workers are going back to work today.
What a fantastic example of workers power if they are united. Hope this success will set the trend amongst all workers who are unhappy with their conditions of work but have felt powerless to take action.
