[QUOTE="happybob, post: 102201, member: 4724"] UPS purchasing a freight company was a move by the company to make more money. There is nothing wrong with this concept, unless of course they take work away from our operation to make that extra money. I've posted in the past, TEAMSTER.NET, where I see this causing a problem. Will the company now take the work we were allready getting and transfering it to the UPS Freight ops. The hundredweeight accounts will be targeted the most. Where we would go in and break down paletts of packages weighing less than 150 pounds. These pallets will now be sent as freight, in the ending causing us to lose teamster jobs. The snowball effect is going to cause us to lose feeder jobs, in turn causing layoffs in package and all the way down to loaders and unloaders. The only folks that will win in this situation is the stock holders, not the workers. If the company doesnt want us to believe this is an attempt to transfer the work to thier new operation then they can come up with a way of making the freight operation a union operation with our feeder drivers able to bid into this operation seemlessly. In the end this would show its long term employees that they dont want to replace us with lower paid workers, but that they want to retain the employees that have made the coompany what it is today.
