[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1111961, member: 43436"] I chuckle at these threads. UPS's problem is that it has high labor costs in relative to its largest competitors; open your eyes -- FedEx Ground is growing by leaps & bounds whereas UPS Ground remains stagnant. While I take the perception that I should be rewarded for my increased productivity over fewer hours, I can understand the company's position. Anybody Teamster who bases Obama & the Democrats needs to research & contrast the airline bankruptcy that occurred in the mid-2000s vs. American Airline's ongoing bankruptcy today. In the mid-2000s, right-wing Republican appointees agreed to unprecedented relief, from dumping pensions, tossing out union contracts, breaking unions (Northwest Teamsters IIRC), etc. -- while signing off on huge executive compensation packages ... for the same folks who drove their companies into bankruptcy. Compare that to American Airlines, which has openly whined that the Democratic administration refuses to grant it similar relief... several execs opened discussed that they hoped when Romney took over this would change. This could be you one day........... [/QUOTE]
