[QUOTE="fxdwg, post: 698651, member: 5135"] Domestic volume is way down with no (real) hope of our premium products recovering. Other companies beating us on the shipping costs. Who really cares about guarentees when your own small biz is bleeding red? The Obama plan will only drive up costs as everyone with a headache will end up in the ER. The Teamsters need to thin k this one out carefully and work towards a win-win agreement. The company will ALWAYS look to minimize their overhead and maximize their position for shareholders, etc. A bitter, brutal, customer-based battle, and ultimately a lose-lose scenario has not worked in the past. It HAS TO BE a give and take. I don't know how; I don't have a plan to suggest....I just know that it has to be this way. I think we're basically talking about survival for all UPSers, not just Management & Labor. Maybe a different model is needed whereby a third party is hired to "decide" what is fair and equitable given the current conditions at the time of the contract. Heck, I don't know. I am just giving my opinion. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
