No, in fact you should get ready for round two. The pilots union is not buying that supply and demand garbage. They want to be paid in accordance with thier worth. What determines worth? What someone says, or what someone is willing to sell (their labor) for what someone else is willing to pay? If a good or service costs too much then fewer buy it and the price goes down or rises slower than general inflation. That's called supply and demand. What do you do when one store charges too much? You go to a less expensive store. What does a business do when labor charges too much? It buys cheaper labor elsewhere. You can thank the Unions for driving manufacturing jobs overseas. UPS' problem is that they can't move their jobs. They're forced to buy a monopoly's product (the Union labor) at outrageous prices under the extortion of having their business shut down if they refuse. Truly American. Oh, by the way, what do you think of Saint Carey's election fraud? Now he has to run again. Do you think the strike was more about protecting workers or about giving him a chance to be a hero and improve his chances of winning the second election that he surely knew would be ordered? Not much of a choice though: Saint Carey or Saint Hoffa.
