[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 54911"] ok2bc, One other thing about the Casey/Teamster relationship. Casey was a very smart man and he understoood the power at the time of the Teamsters. He also wanted to branch out his company and he understood to do that, he needed a partner and someone with the muscle and clout to get him where he wanted to go. I now in today's UPS this won't taste well but it's a fact, the Teamsters are just as responsible for UPS being the powerhouse they are as anyone else out there. The Teamster union helped Casey expand into areas that at best he would have had to expend enormous energies to get into but rather the Teamsters did the leg work as they understood also it meant expanding their empire as well. You know, I'd almost bet most of these new college wonders being hired off the street have no clue Casey invited in the Teamsters and in some cases I'd not be surprised to learn that many of them don't even know who Casey is. As time goes by I see Casey referred to less and less. IMO this is sad because I think in many ways he had sage advice that was not specific to a period of time but in fact understood the nature of people and unless some evolutionary leap takes place with mankind his thinking will always apply. If I had the chance to give Mr. Eskew one piece of advice as we approach the 100th anniversary of UPS it would be to rediscover who and what Jim Casey was about and not just with the management ranks but with everyone.
