Advantages of Unions : A 7 page paper that
explores the
increase in union membership in 1997 because of advantages
(general and specific) provided by unions to its members. The
needs of today's employees in a reorganizing and downsizing
corporate environment are attributed to a new growth in union
membership. For this reason, unions have realized a reverse of
the decline in union membership experienced over the past 15
years. Today, unions are helping workers in industries as
varied as aircraft workers to physicians. Bibliography lists 7

UPS-Teamsters Strike : A 25 page paper
discussing the 1997 strike against UPS, the first walkout in the
company’s history. While large companies, especially those
dealing business-to-business, rarely use delivery services for
order shipment, UPS had been the delivery service of choice for
many of the small businesses in the country. The US Postal
Service and other delivery and courier services did what they
could to make up for the more than 12 million pieces normally
handled by UPS daily, but most were forced to place
restrictions on accepting new customers long before the strike
ended. While they prospered, many of America’s small
businesses were damaged right along with UPS. Bibliography

Management, Labor, Unions, & The 1997 UPS Strike :
A 10 page paper examining the relationship between unions
and management, using the now-current UPS (United Parcel
Service) strike as a paper-long example. The UAW and GM’s
Saturn Division had enjoyed a symbiotic relationship for years,
with each side working for the long-term benefit of the
company while protecting workers’ rights, as well as their
responsibilities. UAW members realize that there are thousands
of workers overseas more than willing to eliminate auto maker
positions here, and that it is in their best interest to work for
increased productivity and efficiency. The Teamsters retain the
old-school attitudes of the “evil corporation,” glossing over all
the benefits that UPS provides its employees. Bibliography lists

Management’s View of the UPS Pilots’ Contract
Demands :
A 6 page paper. The Independent Pilots Association (IPA)
representing UPS’ 2039 pilots allowed a by-mail survey of their
members last August (1997) following the end of the
Teamsters’ strike against the company in the same month.
Though UPS offered pay raises for their pilots of between 36
and 94%, the pilots nonetheless rejected UPS’ contract
proposal. The average pilot pay at UPS currently stands at
$151,000. Pilots are restricted by law from working a full
schedule—they are all essentially part-time employees, and
their current hourly rate (without a contract renegotiation) stands
at more than $200. Bibliography lists 6 sources. UPSPilot.wps

striking on the workers under the UAW and long-term and
