[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1326173, member: 4886"] I realize I have a management viewpoint, so many may not agree. But to your question of how you can protect future UPS workers. I think the first thing you need to do is ensure that their is a UPS. I know a lot of people will think we are too big to fail or other similar opinions. However, there are a lot of big companies that have not lasted the test of time. In fact with UPS being almost 107 years old is unique, although it doesn't guarantee we will be around for another 107 years. There are a lot of companies out there, Lasership, Velocity Express that are growing. Also we have the old standbys of FDX and USPS along with DHL that could always decide to come back to the US. Also, we are seeing companies like Amazon thinking of starting their own delivery fleet. UPS pays more (a lot more) to our drivers then the competition does. We make up on that by being more efficient (UPS drivers deliver more then others) We do that in part due to our density. If UPS can't continue to maintain the dominant delivery position then other companies will get parity with UPS in regards to density. If that happens, then UPS will seriously go downhill in terms of profitability. [/QUOTE]
