Dear Rush,
Once again you take a complex situation and give a simple solution, and in your logical reasoning come up with the wrong answer. The union members of UPS (as well the rest of UPS people) produce. We produce results with a higher level of accountability than other companies. Management has always been in control of UPS operations. Even with high wages and a generous benefit plan, UPS management uses creative ways to increase revenue. Finally, technology directed to the delivery of packages, the flow of information from the shipper to the consignee, and the collection of revenue of value added services has made it possible for UPS to eliminate middle management positions by financial compensation, while still maintaining control of package operations and thus reducing operating costs.
Sincerely,
A Dumb Truck Driver
