It was one heck of a check ....Hell naw
you are correct but again I wasn't implying that. It would be a catastrophic for UPS as we know it and would take months and years to work itself out. However I'm sure they would survive without the union in the long run, and the recovery time would be much less than '97 or '67 or whatever.I wasn't so much trying to put words in your mouth as I was responding to your post. The overnight comment was just suggesting that UPS would be naive to think that their systems could make a transition to a new crew painless. Yes, perhaps it would be easier now vs. 1997, but the de-skilling you mention has also occurred within the ranks of management. Many of them simply don't have the knowledge or experience to pull such a large scale transition off. Simply throwing money at new people will not make it less painless either. Yes it will attract virtually everyone, but the disruption would still occur, and customers will not be as patient as they were in 97. There are also more options now as well. Yes, any one idiot can be trained to do the job, but 200,000 idiots? All at once. While business evaporates. Doesn't seem like a good idea for anyone involved.
PT was working double sorts for almost a year at my building. Some PT were making as much as drivers with less hours.People where layed off for months ...after the strike
So you're hoping for another....People where layed off for months ...after the strike
Unfortunately I wouldn’t be one of them ... this time around ...lolSo you're hoping for another....
I took off Thanksgiving week, we was that slow in 97Unfortunately I wouldn’t be one of them ... this time around ...lol
Not true, Frito lay pays 17 an hour for their loaders and unloaders. Thats alot of money for that job and at least where I'm at they cant keep anyone either. They are non unionWooshhh...not once did I say or imply any of the words you are putting in my mouth. The fact remains that it would be easier to do so now than 20 years ago. I did not say it is possible overnight. It would also be easy to pay more in wages to a non union workforce to attract more people. (Perhaps with lesser health/bennies) remember that keeping good part time help is less likely with the throwaway union wages
Why?People where layed off for months ...after the strike
No volume ....Why?
Customers left us ... some never came back ... just saying ... if a strike is warranted by all means yes .... but there is repracussions after the factWhy?
A strike would be a big loss for the company and the union. Hopefully they get it together. We only have two months before the contract expires....Customers left us ... some never came back ... just saying ... if a strike is warranted by all means yes .... but there is repracussions after the fact
