[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 414679, member: 11425"] I think this "zone skipping" is becoming more apparent to us at regular UPS because now our company has a lower cost outlet to divert customers to, UPSF. So, UPS as a corporation doesn't lose the business, but our division does. But, if tieguy is correct, we would have probably lost the business anyways. Still, my fear is that UPS encourages this. Why? Look at what happened to Consolidated Freightways. Con-Way was created as a non-union division of CF. Eventually this division, in my opinion, undermined the parent company, on purpose, to the point the union part of CF was spun off and allowed to go under. But, UPSF is now, or becoming, mostly union. They are, and I am happy that they are, but one has to wonder why UPS caved to Teamster demands for them to be allowed to organize UPSF so easily. Could it be so that the union wouldn't balk if UPS diverted volume to another division that doesn't pay it's employees as well, so long as that division is union? As long as the union is getting it's dues, does it care? All of this makes me wonder about those FSTZ boxes I see being pulled by UPSF lately.... [/QUOTE]
