MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
JIM CAVANAUGHW +
SUBJECT:
United Parcel Service Strike
Dick Cheney asked me to provide a report on the
United Parcel Service strike. The strike began
on September 15. The Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service (FMCS) has been involved
from the beginning in attempting to bring the
parties together. After several weeks of no
negotiations, bargaining sessions resumed on Monday,
October 18. Serious negotiations have been going on
all this week.
The union is expected to present its latest
proposal to management tomorrow. Management is not
expected to respond with its offer until next week.
FMCS believes that a settlement will be possible then.
Small businessmen are complaining about the impact
of the strike. Congressman Floyd Spence of South
Carolina has written asking for your help to
settle the strike.
