[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 801076, member: 4816"] :sad-little:On a different thread over one year ago concerning the reduction of the Regions and Districts I mentioned that UPS was facing a Revenue per piece vs a Cost per piece serious problem. Labor and management costs were rising way faster than increase in revenue. Customers still demand huge discounts while operating costs rose with Labor contract restrictions and grievances. Most (not all)) drivers want to make more money ,have better pension and benefits but work less overtime. Upper and mid managament were reduced drastically, Ups put less drivers on the road with increased loads and overtime --grievances on excess ot in many areas has skyrocketed. The next phase is to replace high cost to serve volume(one piece highly discounted) with heavy multiple piece low mileage volume. 1. Reduced Management 2. Reduce drivers-less overtime--less grievances 3. Keep customers happy by delivering low revenue parcels with lower cost options. 4. Reduce need for more buildings, vechicles etc. The result a leaner , meaner UPS -Much less management and houry--a much smaller company but in todays world a surviving union company. Many people scoffed at this last year in the District Consolidation thread. Ups plans long term and implements very slowly --lets see what the future holds!!! [/QUOTE]
