In the end...

In reality, I don't think any side won the UPS strike. The UPS workers got a pay increase, but they did not get the full time jobs that they wanted. UPS in general lost tons of money during the strike. In the end, I feel that the workers were slightly more victorious becuase of the pay raise. As to the question of who was right, I would say that some UPS workers would have to feel pretty strongly to strike. Although they were recieveing some money by the teamsters during the strike, it was not as much as they normally would have recieved from work. If the hours were bad enough for people to want to strike even without getting paid as much as normal, then they have a legitimate reason to strike.
