True, I dislike all organized crime syndicates.
BUt the fact of the matter is in today's market, a VP Of Transportation/Logistics will not risk his job by conducting business with a company on the verge of a strike. That could risk that person's job for not understanding the market.
I spoke to a large shipper and he has already diverted business away from UPS Parcel in the event of a disruption. Plus that protects his capacity should something happen.
We all know, once freight shifts away from a carrier it is very difficult to get it back. Unless you use price as the bait and that rarely helps.
But you be a tough guy and support a strike.
I'll be here watching...
