[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 244840, member: 9789"] Don't forget one thing...Protfits hinge on customers giving UPS packages. In 97, nobody had the network to handle the packages, so there were service issues or packages that never went anywhere. This time around - there are plenty of carriers that have built up their network (most importantly FDX and DHL). These carriers will probably struggle initially but will make it work and take the business PERMANENTLY away from UPS. The company will shrink to a third rate carrier with out the volume. Jobs will go fast. Locations will be closed and volume consolidated quickly. It will be hit and miss on senoirity depending on where you work. You might have 25 years and be unemployed depending on where you work!!!:crying: I watched the company close Alaska back in the '80s when they could not reach a labor agreement. Everything sat including the building and equipment.:crying: Don't take FDX or DHL for granted this time. They are ready to pounce like a panther and I doubt they will have any integrety if they smell blood!:w00t::w00t: [/QUOTE]
