[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 607651, member: 14596"] I agree with you, many routes need to be re-studies. The process is on going, and in fact with the new "virtual" time study using mapping software and GPS data, you will find many routes are actually gaining time back. The process takes a lot of man hours and cannot be done overnight. No, my mentality of get the most and then a bit more is the UPS business model. We pay our people WAY more than any one else in the industry, and we get way more out of our people than anyone else. And guess what? The pay gap is getting bigger. So guess what else has to get bigger for UPS to have ANY shot at being competitive? That is correct, the production gap. So we need more. One of the problems here is that UPS may be pushing up against the human endurance limits of the business model. Every contract we pay yet more, and we find ways to get yet more. Perhaps we have hit the limit on how much more we can get from people. If so, we are going to have to start paying less or we are pretty much headed the way of GM. It really is that simple. Don't believe me? Do some research on UPS' share of the small package market over the last 20 years. How much by percentage has UPS market share declined in the past 15 or 20 years? How many good quality union jobs will we be able to provide when it gets to zero? [/QUOTE]
