[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 5649053, member: 14596"] Just an FYI, in the last couple years at least where I'm at, Average meal price at a fast food joint has gone from around $6-7 to around $11-13. Not quite double, but pretty close. No one doubles one of their biggest expenses and 'barely' raises prices. Also worth noting, fast food joints sell a product, food, UPS sells a service. So, hourly pay is a much larger percentage of operating cost for UPS than it is for a fast food joint. UPS drivers are still the highest paid in the industry. Just because the company is negotiating hard and not immediately giving in to demands to double the gap between UPS drivers and the rest of the industry, is not immediately a sign of extreme greed on their part, despite what your IBT overlords tell you. I'm starting to get the impression Sean wants to make a name for himself and a legacy like Carey did. I suspect he may take you out on strike for a week or so just to seem tough then triumphantly celebrate a hard win agreement he could have gotten without a strike. [/QUOTE]
