[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 560155, member: 18708"] Fair enough; I might be. Concievably, you may be the problem too. All I do is go to work every day and try to go home. In my work all I see are unsafe work areas and unsafe conditions. This is what I see and deal with every day for 8 hours. I am not on the road driving right now so this is not the POV of a driver. My point is, UPS should spend time fixing their own problems. Now suddenly, the Teamsters ( who I am hardly a spirited supporter of ) AND UPS want my and everyones support on a very touchy issue. What happens , hypothetically, after Fedex Exp negotiates with the Teamsters and comes up with a $22/hr or $26/hr top driver rate? In 2012 when it is time for UPS and the Teamsters to go to the table and UPSs profits are at a record 50 billion a year and top driver rate is $32/hr they will unsavorably request concessions from the Teamters. "Well FedEx drivers doing the same job under the same act are making $22/hr, so we want some give backs" Imagine that, 1997 all over again...UPSs best and final offer spitting in the face of the letter-writers! All I have to say is, take care of your own house first [/QUOTE]
