Is there anybody at the wheel at UPS that can pay attention to the real world?

[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 543069, member: 16651"] Dannybody; I'll grant you also your expressions concerning GMAC. Not too sure you'd be able to back-up a claim of them having rates of "25 percent or more", but as the one domestic area of the company that was NOT subject to the UAW, it was usually profitable. Plus it was eligible [directly...without the subterfuge] for "TARP" funds when they became available. Keeping it, however, wouldn't have prevented GM from biting the dust, if for no other reason than that they sold it to raise cash because the company was ALREADY biting the dust. Make no mistake; at the time that decision was made, there was little, if any, other choice. On the other thing, admittedly, the words expressed so far could obviously be considered "empty" in terms of what understanding they brought to you on the subject. And if you want to think that "this ability" was "put into print in the contract" - and that in those terms, the contract is the be-all and end-all on the subject - then you go right ahead thinking that. Doesn't change the facts, I'm afraid. As for my "problem" with it, I have no problem whatsoever. Rather, my "problem" would be that Teamsters tend to read into things that which simply isn't there.....and then get disappointed when they are disabused of their notions somewhere down the road by reality in a rather more rigorous fashion than what I had to offer.
