[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 434123, member: 4886"] I read the story on [URL]http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20081031/BUSINESS/810310413/-1/electionam[/URL] I don't know if it's 100% accurate or not. But here's my two cents. 1. I agree with what you said that right now that $50/week is pretty cheap. The article says free. But let's assume $50 is right. I would agree $200/wk is a huge jump and a high cost. I find it hard to believe it's going up from $50 to 200. (JMO) 3. The whole domicile thing. I don't want to nit pick. But we all know UPS uses the planes as much as then can, but there's period of down time where it is sitting unused To me domicile, is where the plane sits more then any other place as a normal operating plan. I realize this may not be the true definition of domicile. If you use the definition of where the plane normally tends to sit as domicile. And let's assume some planes sit in intl areas more often then it sits in the US. Wouldn't it make sense to have it fixed closer to where they normally reside??? Also to carry over on that. Is the article correct about not losing existing jobs but potentially not creating new ones here and the "new" ones be created at intl sites? Keep in mind, UPS is truly a global company now. It seems to make sense to do the work closer to where the work is. Finally. If the article is correct about $43/hr. I don't see much sympathy from the public during this current economic crisis. I think a lot of the public is P.O.'ed with the whole auto industry and many are blaming in part the wages of the UAW. [/QUOTE]
