[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 872291, member: 4886"] TOS, you really think that in these economic times, customers aren't willing to switch to FDX if they offer 5-10% savings? If you are the logistics mgr and you are responsible to reduce costs in your department and you currently spend 5 million a year with UPS and you can switch carriers and save 5-10%. Don't you think you'd do it. You can show your boss you saved the company $250 - 500K per year due to the switch. (5-10% of 5 Million spend). This will help you to keep your job and possibly promoted. Remember the folks who work in the warehouse who may or may not like the UPS driver doesn't make the decision on which carrier gets used (esp when it's a large shipper). FDX ground grew by almost 400K pkgs per day over the last 3 years. That to me is the biggest threat to UPS and to the teamsters. If we had those packages there would be more UPS jobs. To have long term job security, you first have to have a company that will be around for a long time. Also, working for a profitable company is the best thing an employee could want. A lot of you folks have said, UPS is profitable so why offer concessions. But then often you "badmouth" the company for being profitable. You should want your company being profitable and a leader in it's industry so you will have long term job stability. [/QUOTE]
