((The parties gathered and got back down to business-- in the early

called back to the negotiating table by a federal mediator... looking to avert
a walk-out by 185-thousand members of the teamsters union.
JOHN CALHOUN WELLS/FEDERAL MEDIATOR OR DIR., FEDERAL MEDIATION AND
CONCILIATION SERVICE: WE'RE MOTIVATED VERY STRONGLY TO TRY TO REACH A
SETTLEMENT AND TO TRY TO PREVENT A STRIKE BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL
BE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THIS STRIKE.
U-P-S handles approximately 12-million letters and packages --every-- day.
no other competitor-- even comes close to that volume of shipping... so, a
strike, analysts believe-- will cause a near crisis... for businesses, and--
average Americans.
Among other things, the teamsters' are asking for more full-time positions and
the elimination of subcontracting...
RON CAREY/TEAMSTERS UNION PRESIDENT:
IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF OUR MEMBERS, ABOUT GOOD DECENT
FULL-TIME JOBS, ABOUT BROWN SHIRTS DOING BROWN WORK-- THE WORK THAT BELONGS TO
THEM-- NO SUBCONTRACTING, THE PENSIONS, THE HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE... IF THE
COMPANY DOES NOT ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.
I ASSURE YOU TONIGHT WE WILL BE ON STRIKE.
GINA ELLRICH/UPS SPOKESPERSON:
WHAT IS AT ISSUE HERE IS A PENSION PROPOSAL THAT THE COMPANY HAS OFFERED--
WHICH RAISES PENSION BENEFITS ON A MONTHLY LEVEL BY 50-PERCENT ON AVERAGE. IT
IS A PROPOSAL THAT BENEFITS OUR PEOPLE. IT IS A PROPOSAL THAT THE UNION
OBVIOUSLY CAN NOT AGREE TO AND CAN'T LIVE WITH....
What is not clear is what will happen if the negotiations continue
past the midnight deadline. Earlier today a union representative seemed to
suggest that if there was no deal-- negotiators would stay at the table....
and employees would walk.
