[QUOTE="705red, post: 868920, member: 5229"] Im not sure on the full details on the surepost deal, but from my understanding it was to gain business from companies that did not use UPS. When it started it was a few packages a day, now its turned into dump stops at the local USPS. We have drivers getting into arguments with the mail employees when they deliver because teh USPS emmployees are pissed. Everyday they go there the day befores delivery is still sitting there. Why cant UPS provide the same service with a once a week delivery to some of these rural areas? Many of the drivers are delivering packages to these same homes daily anyways. UPS is contracting out our work, costing us routes, employees, driving up the drivers paid day because they are passing on this work to the USPS. Its not juts surepost its all of their business practices that are costing us jobs. They use UPS Freght and others to drop ship our loads and move this work, UPS is selling this to the customers. The reason we cant compete anymore is because WE no longer provide a SERVICE. We could sell grounds and airs delivered and picked up together but in many cases we cant do this anymore. Our start times are pushed back so far that both FedEx drivers can beat us to the accounts before we even deliver our airs. Employees of UPS are not happy, and a happy work force is a productive work force. And I truly believe the IBT will feel these issue come November when the ballots are counted. [/QUOTE]
