[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 727543, member: 4777"] ups had done better than most companies the last year, some of that was pushing us harder, some of it was other factors. Injuries are up in my neck of the woods, maybe the climate of ups recently has caused some of this maybe not. In 2009, every week numbers were being thrown around about why routes were being cut, volume down 13% from year earlier, etc. In 2010, Nothing has been said and routes are still being cut, and the stops per car have gone up, the allowance had been lowered, and injuries are up. I recall fedex having a nosedive, but it was pretty much business as usual from what I heard from drivers that I know. Ups has been freaking out and that is stating it mildly...now it seems that volume has been going up and it will be interesting to see next quarters numbers..if they are anywhere near last quarters I believe the recovery is here, at least for the business is concerned. The thing that has been an eye opener for many is the way people have been treated around the company the last year, and still being treated...and Im not talking about joe union who doesent feel complete unless hes filing 10 grievances a day, I dont have to get into it you read it everyday here....it doesnt make for a climate of trust and co-operation.
