[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 626068, member: 4653"] I disagree Carlos. The only factors that have changed from 1999-2009 came in management. Until 1999 and into the early part of the decade, UPS was the top dog. Economy, stock price, profits, and volume were all growing. UPS used a teamster labor force during those fabulous days. What changed in 1999 happened at the corporate level and had nothing to do with the teamsters. We've be doing the job the same every day. Yet, the UPS managers make the company public. The stock spikes for a few months and then lingers in the "I would be better off in my checking account" area for 10 years. Then management spends hundreds of millions on PAS/EDD. The idea being the UPS will be loaded stop-for-stop so the UPS driver will save time selecting packages. We all know this never happened. It was also designed to stop misloads. At my center we went from about 4 misloads/day to about 40 since being on PAS 4-5 years ago. Brilliant! Now we have telematics. The truck is wired to show what the driver is doing at every moment. Magnets on the bulk-head door transmiting data to the center showing it is closed when the truck is moving. What do they expect at peak with the driver-helper team in dense residential areas? The door to be closed at every stop? I think UPS screwed themselves on this one. Its peak, I have 350 stops with my helper and it benefits the company for me to have the bulk-head door closed at every residential stop? How? Thats 300 times I have to put the key in the door and fumble with the lock. If it takes 10-15 seconds each time, do the math and we are all screwed! [/QUOTE]
