[QUOTE="Imchar1, post: 1475009, member: 47533"] The fact of the matter is that these are UPS packages to be processed and delivered by UPS employees. I am happy for you guys that are catching a break this year not working 60 hours a week during peak. But using some of the thought processes I am seeing, lets say this.... I make too much money please import 1000s of illegal aliens so I can work less and give them less money to do the same work. My rival business competition is a failing model. I will prop them up by giving them a significant percentage of my business at a lower rate. How about this. UPS decides it no longer wishes to grow it only wants to maintain its size at the most efficient and cost effective. Therefore UPS plans to handle just enough volume to give all employees the minimum amount of work and they give all excess to FEDEX USPS etc. The only promotion or opportunity to advance is death termination or retirement. Growth leads to more jobs and higher wages and benefits. Growth also secures pensions and benefits. Some of you seem to be saying "I'm ok with UPS using non union cheaper labor to do jobs my union brothers and sisters could and should be doing because I want to work less." Its one thing to outsource because you don't have the labor to meet demand. Its quite another thing to do it in order to do get the same work done for less money when you have plenty of your own people willing to do the work and are instead on the bench watching others do the work you used to do. WE GET THE WORK BECAUSE WE DO IT BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE. THE PROOF IS IN THE MARKET SHARE. PACKAGES WITH UPS LABELS SHOULD ONLY BE DELIVERED BY UPS EMPLOYEES. ALLOWING INFERIOR CARRIERS TO HANDLE OUR STUFF DAMAGES OUR BRAND. Americans have rights and should not be so quick to give them away. THE WORK WE ARE ALLOWING TO BE SENT ELSEWHERE FOR LESS MONEY IS OURS AND WE SHOULDN'T BE SO QUICK TO GIVE IT AWAY. ONE DAY IT MAY BE YOUR EXTRA WORK THEY SEND AWAY FOR CHEAP. [/QUOTE]
