The case analysis below will describe the labor and management dispute between United Parcel Service (UPS) and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) that occurred in 1997. It will also offer insights of the strike from my view point. This strike was considered one of the nation’s largest strikes in 30 years and certainly one of the most memorable of its time.

In 2006 the New York Mets learned that a deal had gone through for them to start building a new multi-million dollar ballpark. The New York Yankees were also getting a new billion dollar ballpark at the same time. To build the stadium itself cost around $450 million dollars (Munsey & Suppes, 2009).

At the local level, it is evident that South Sudan is a country with a significant number of its populations suffering from communicable lower respiratory infections as previously indicated (see appendix 5). On a global scale, many countries also have to deal with the problem of lower respiratory infections. Even first class economies such as Canada have to deal with the problem of lower respiratory infections.
