[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 434622, member: 7666"] Alister, UPS has been a very strong and competitive company, When I started as a driver in 1978, the only competition was USPS. As the years went on, Fedex came long, Airborne (DHL) Emery Air Freight and regional Less than Truckload, which were not even in UPS's portfolio. Look at UPS today, there a myraid of services to embed UPS into a customer's needs, to have one point of contact for all their shipping needs, not to mention our technology, which hasn't always been in the forefront, but no competitor can match. Your point is well taken, we cannot afford to be dumb, fat and happy in today's enviroment. Our employees may not be happy with what they may be hearing in today's economic situation, but unfortunately, who is? Unemployment is at the highest since the early 90's, every industry is laying off employees, people are losing their homes, life and retirement savings. It is a bleak and dismal out there, and our president elect, doesn't think the economics of the country will turn around until 2011. And this is his top priority, and he is choosing who he feels is the best of the best to support his goals to stabalize and grow the economic condition of our country today. I've been retired since 2005, and planning for the future, I have to consider my pension being reduced, an expense for my benefits, and don't even plan on a Social Security benefit any longer. Just hope I can weather the storm over the next few years. [/QUOTE]
