[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 577191, member: 13254"] My point was, few people that have only a couple of years left till retirement can just "find another job", specially in the current economic times. That doesn't make the bitter pill UPS is forcing down everyone's throat any easier to swallow. I know that UPS has always tried to find ways to push, pull and drag everyone (not just drivers) to get more and more production. However there is a limit to what a human body can endure before it starts to break down. The younger drivers have youth on their side for recuperation from constant labor intensive activity, the older guys not so much. The company expects a 60 year old driver to preform day after day at the same level as a 25 year old and I for one just can't do that anymore, but I must try or the years I have spent working toward a decent retirement was wasted. As I see it, our spouses can only take so much of our venting and if we don't vent....someone could die. That's what keeps us from going postal. [/QUOTE]
