I haven't seen or heard any evidence of this. Shared services is what I'm hearing. PE and Security are already involved in freight operations.
I'd rather just call the people I work with co-workers. I'm not sure if management or the teamsters are really considered a brotherhood. Both groups would kill their own for a nickel.....
Yeah this is not true at all...... LP has already been cut down to nothing, IE and HR are here to stay........ Your statement is just wrong...
Its logical, cheaper, more efficient, and coming to a test district.

They're going be forced to outsource IE soon. They're all quitting. Same with PE.
If HR is here to stay, I like to know where they're hiding. Other than a few specialists and a few supervisors they were all wiped out in what was a former district.
I bet they were outsourced....maybe with FedEx winning recent no union court cases UPS could start to out source feeder jobs......I bet the next contract will be very interesting ....What do you all think ?

2013 will be very interesting.
I would hope not. The feeder department is the only group of employees worth anything anymore.
Well depending on where you are IE and HR are more visible. IE and HR were drastically reduced and some of these smaller buildings and centers are being managed from afar.

in my part of the district about half of the 430 feeder drivers started as part timers.

Current feeder drivers? Quite a few, maybe half. Work P/T for 5 -7 years, drive as friend/T package driver for 20 -25 years and then you can go to Feeder.

So far H.R. and Moncton Billing in Canada have been downsized (hello India). I think Corporate Shared Services (Billing, Collections, Customer Service, Payroll, etc.) is about to get the hammer across the board.

The next contract will be very interesting. Our wages and compensation package is second to none and with our main competitor being non-union, this does present one heck of a pricing advantage. I for one would be willing to take a wage freeze to better position us in pricing if truly needed. I'm afraid that we can only be so efficient and that we eventually will plateau.
Actually depending on where you are located the total union compensation varies from 15th place to 3rd place....I suggest that you talk with a few iam mechanics and a few pilots to see how negotiations and compensations are done well.

I think the UAW did a really good job of negotiating contracts. Maybe your kids and grandkids can pay for your pension like you and I are paying for the UAW members.

pilots and mechanics you say. Could you list the 14 small package carriers that are better?
With all respect I was referring to the wide variance of total compensations across the USA. medical and retirement compensations vary considerably, Perhaps the next contract will address this situation.
