The following quote is from a Labor Notes interview with Ron Carey, the man who led the historic UPS contract campaign in 1997:
“The fate of this contract is in the hands of the members. It’s their job to reach out to the brothers and sisters and explain two simple facts:
- The union did not force UPS to put its best offer on the table.
- And the membership has a right and the power to vote “no” and to send the negotiators back to the bargaining table to win a fair contract that benefits all of the members.”
