I agree, let the workers vote on it first. Last I heard though, the union didn't want the workers to vote on it.

From the UPS page linked in previous post:

"Unlike virtually any other company in America, UPS offers its part-time employees full-time benefits. They receive company-paid health, pension, vacation, holiday and dependent-coverage benefits. Most of the part-time jobs at UPS are filled by individuals who want to work part-time. Many are college students working their way through school. Others are homemakers or retirees looking for supplemental income and/or health benefits."

I certainly knew college students who worked part-time at UPS, and they thought themselves very lucky to be making over $8.00/hr (this was in 1982-85), while most other college students made $3.35 - $4.50/hr.
