He is in the management part, not the drivers and deliverers part. Anyway, the company is calling all the management people to come in to drive the trucks and deliver packages. He has to go to work very very early in the morning. He said that they are going to try to get all the packages that are already in the system delivered. They probably won't pick up many new packages, but the ones in the system will be delivered. He thinks that Clinton will step in and stop the strike in a day or two. He didn't think that it would go on very long. There are too many businesses that depend on them. Just relaying what I know from within the company.

I never been on strike before, nor lived through a strike personally, but I've worked my way through a great number of 'em (before I became un-occupied, I spent 5 years workin' at the unemployment office..) anno This message was from "anno" - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.
