[QUOTE="coldcoldworld, post: 76755"] I really dont have much to say about the layed off employees, if ups will let them relocate within the company which some of you are saying on here then thats a start. If this company wants to start saving money, they need to start looking in other directions. As most of you know, ups has never lived "high on the hog" when it comes to hourly employees. They hired just what is needed. Some ofyou may say that they hire more supervisors than what is needed...well, thats ups's decision. It seems that the company could save MILLIONS a year on the following, retention of part-time employees, and injuries and auto accidents. Also the retention of small ups customers.
