[QUOTE="MgtUPSerintheWest, post: 308179"] I am in mgt and the PAS Coordinator for a district out west. In all discussions I have been involved in, and in all presentations that I have recieved, PAS as a union buster has never been mentioned. It is a system that if set up and maintained properly (and it is alot of work) it will determine the most efficient and effective routes possible. Where it is set up and maintained properly, the system IS saving that center significant costs, especially in miles. The vision of PAS continues as part of UPSs overall plan to track each package from the moment of pickup through each step of it's travel until it is delivered. Some of those steps are missing. However, as it currently stands, it is far above anything our competitors have. If and when FedEx unionizes, they will either have to do something like PAS, or driver costs will become so high they cannot afford to remain in business. Other competitors that do not deliver the large volume of pkgs that we do still can get away with inefficient delivery processes. As an FYI, in our district, we actively encourage drivers to sit down with the PDSs in the center to discuss better trace in their routes. Where this is done, the majority of drivers have found it very beneficial. Hope this helps. Service Providers are the most important part of this company. To keep it successful, we are going to need to work together. This goes for both sides. [/QUOTE]
