[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1110593, member: 4886"] IF UPS goes on strike and we lose more volume to FDX we would be less profitable due to losing density which helps us with profitability. If we compound that by being 100% responsible for healthcare costs that are rising at an incredible rate, those two things combined will seriously hamper the ability for UPS to be profitable. Yes we are profitable now.. But if we go on strike and give in to all concessions, I think we will lose a lot of profitability. The only way to counter that (IMO) if we go on strike is to seriously reduce cost to remain profitable. The way to reduce cost would be to break the union. Again.. I DO NOT want to see that happen. I want to see UPS stay very competitive, I want to see our employees enjoye the highest wage rate in the industry. However, we can't be so much higher in total costs that we lose our competitive edge. [/QUOTE]
