[QUOTE="SimpleUPSer, post: 270640, member: 10210"] I honestly cannot fathom a workforce of p/t employees only. The logistics in itself would be detrimental to productivity, which we all know UPS is very fond of... I think in many of these discussions the fact has been overlooked that UPS is a business. UPS is not here to provide jobs to anyone, hourly or salary, and the fact that we have our jobs is a byproduct of the company trying to make a profit for the shareowners. That being stated, the company should take care of their employees, but then again, that is a whole new thread. Interesting discourse on the rail loads. First off, given the state that the rails are in, giving them any additional business would seem to be detrimental to our quality objectives. The only other thing I can fathom is that perhaps to maintain parity with our competitor's (mainly FEDEX) time-in-transit that moving additional loads via rail would may help level that playing field. There could be other variables that have not crossed my mind (highly likely), and if anyone has more, please share them. [/QUOTE]
