[QUOTE="UPS_UK, post: 378377, member: 16363"] Mate, the reason for the subcontractors is that alot of the Lynx drivers are a waste of space, most were only contracted and very few, approx 10% of drivers in each depot, were employed by Lynx. UPS has it's standards and they want to keep thoses standards. My local depot has just sacked 3 ex-Lynx bulk drivers because all they wanted to do was come in at 8am, sit around still 3pm when they would go out and do the bulk collections and then get paid £35k - £40k per year. They wanted to do this when the depot has package volume that is need to be delivered. The depot manager gave them both a morning round that would be 15-20 stops each in the morning and then warehouse duties when they got back, on Thursday and Friday last week they both refused to do the work so they were sacked....that is the mentality that alot of the ex-Lynx drivers have and that is what they did when it was Lynx. How can any company justify paying someone £35k per year for 15hrs per week work and then refusing to do any more...?? Also on the TNT side of things, UPS upped their shared to 55% in Jan 08 and from what I hear at UPS House, an annoucement will be made in the not too distance future about the next acquisation. Also new rumers for you, as part of the UPS & DHL agreement for air uplift in the USA, we will be handling their air movements in Europe in 2009....!! Hopefully if we do get TNT, then things will be handled batter. I think alot of people learned alot of things from the Lynx migration. [/QUOTE]
