[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1179490, member: 42270"] UPS wanted to drop that $6 billion liability from their books because -- as BrownSlave said -- it looks better for investors. Looking better for investors equals more profit. Profit is the [B]only[/B] driving motivator a publicly traded company like UPS possesses. Also, I think your analysis of the new hire workforce is a bit off. UPS has traditionally hired people in the 17-30 year old demographic for PT work. Very rarely do I see a PT'er get hired over the age of 40. Hoaxster posted here that the corporate "vision" for the workforce is college-aged PT'ers that move on after 4-5 years once they graduate college; the wear-and-tear of working in a hub becomes a big deal after that time frame.
