[QUOTE="soberups, post: 336876, member: 14668"] If you provide a modern, ergonomically suitable vehicle, you extend the career of the driver....which is the LAST thing UPS wants. The advantage to keeping the deathtraps on the road is twofold...you save money in the short term, and more importantly you can force older employees into earlier retirement, thereby allowing you to replace them with a new hire who start at $10 an hour less, who are stuck in progression for 2 years, and who only get 2 weeks per year of vacation instead of 6. The cost savings realized by getting an older driver off the payroll are [U]HUGE[/U]. The only reason we arent ALL still in P600's is that (a) the '97 contract requires power steering in all new equipment and (b) UPS needed to reduce its exposure to the prospect of lawsuits over ergonomics issues, which became popular in the 90's.
