[QUOTE="BrownShark2, post: 263965"] This contract is bad for one simple reason, its a begining to an end. While UPS continues to make record profits, it wants to take back from the very core of its operation. Without the hard work of the Teamster Employees over the many years, UPS would not be where it is today. Look at Fedex, how many 25 year drivers can you count?? Fedex has an average turnover of 90 days for its drivers and sorters. What about DHL? These guys barely speak english! UPS seems bent on following this "model" for operations. Why? Who knows, it could only hurt the business not help it. Customers expect and demand a professional realtionship with their respective UPS driver and they would rebel if some non-english DHL type driver showed up with deliveries. Reputation and consistency is what keeps our customers at UPS despite the higher prices of shipping. If price was the issue, we'd lose all of our volume to competition. Lets remember that "our" hard work as employees makes this company what it is today and for that, we should and will demand a proper contract that gives nothing back. I read alot of talk on this board from management types, yet, not one of them has taken an article and articulated anything positive about its construction or meaning. So many threads on this board are filled with useless jibberish dancing around issues but yet , never really getting to the bone of the discussions. While out here in So Cal., it looks like we have collectively shot down all three parts of the contract and we hope the rest of the country does the same. Once shot down, our local better call a meeting of all of our members, listened carefully, re-establish what it is that bothers us and takes our suggestions and renegotiates aggressively until they bring us something worthy of a yes vote. Peace. [/QUOTE]
