[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1141092, member: 17605"] UPS job is to make money. Ever since they went public in 99, the rank and file passed the event horizon and there's no turning back. UPS is full on corporate. With that being said, the best and only thing you can do is vote no. But even that has possible ramifications that will hurt you more than the concessions. The crappy thing is this problem is bigger than UPS, it has to do with greed. It's the single most prevalent problem in any society. And it goes all the way to the top. Until society changes or the people in the society changes, corporations are going to do everything they can to make that stock perform. In order for UPS to stay competitive with FedEx and the others while paying their PT workforce more than any other PT job I know of and paying the FTers a family wage, they will eat the young and the unborn to do it. If you know of other options that will allow UPS to stay competitive without lowering our healthcare lemme know. Healthcare outpaced inflation in the last 10 years. Inflation was roughly 28% but healthcare went up 131% (congressional budget office numbers). How do you propose UPS pays for those rising costs? They can't by raising the cost of shipping.
