[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 623467, member: 16651"] purplesky; Guess you didn't read what I wrote, did you? In short, I think I was very MUCH "on topic", and - if you cared to notice - I stated flat-out that.... "to my DIRECT KNOWLEDGE, there have been terminations based on "production" here and there at least since the implementation of elemental time studies in the mid-to-late 1970's". Got that? In short, damn right I could name some. As for your comment of... "UPS has one of the most efficient and productive workforces in the world and they are UNION!! GO FIGURE! " ...let me ask you; do you think that UPS's workforce is that "productive" because they are UNION? I.e. - did the union hire it, train it, keep it motivated, etc? And how does all that jive with the fact that UPS's workforce is ***primarily NON-Teamster*** today? Look, "purplesky", if you want to keep your head buried in the sand (and, in the process, keep the posterior part of your body exposed to that "purplesky" name-sake of yours), then you go right ahead; after all, that no different from what Teamsters generally have been doing for decades. But what has that attitude got them? I'd submit that losing the jobs of well more than a million members might be reason enough for guys like you to raise your heads up out of the sand to face reality. [/QUOTE]
