[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 327129, member: 484"] And we see how that business model is faring, dont we? After all, they are not independent contractors, they are employees. Now, how do you think UPS would have sqeezed that by the IRS. Lets see. Yesterday the drivers were employees, but we fired them. Today, these guys, doing the same job, for the same company, delivering the same packages are now independent contractors. Why you ask? Because we want it that way. Hehehe, you got a bad taste in your mouth about the strike?....you shoulda spit insteada of swallowed. While the contract was far from perfect, the big hang up was the pension and the inside full time jobs. The teamsters need more full time jobs, not part time. The part time workforce is not a money maker for them, instead it is a money loser. So it behooves them to get as many full time jobs as they can. Of course, implimenting the full time jobs has been something else, as the language was less than plain, and was pretty much stacked in the companies favor. As for your worries about the yet unborn UPS employee, in 18 years the ups you see now will not even resemble what you will see then. d [/QUOTE]
