[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 980003, member: 4932"] Well, to reduce labor costs by bringing in younger workers who will get paid less, have fewer health claims, and work faster. Also, since the pensions are in Teamster pension funds, and can be considered sunk costs to UPS, any 'buy out' funds they need to use will probably be less than the money saved by the stuff in the first sentence. Oh, and don't forget the fact that younger workers aren't hard-core union, since they haven't lived in a country where union workers were common. That means they will be more susceptible to the whole 'union thug' line being sold so heavily by the right-wing anti-worker machine. What's not to like? [/QUOTE]
