[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 669220, member: 4816"] fredly, Easy to say DEAD weight --have you ever run a District ?? But this is not my main response point to you ----This is --even if we agree --"dead weight --this 1800 mgmt reduction is only the tip of the iceburg. The main problem is high costs ---hourly wage--gas--compensation --health benefits--pensions --grievances, operating limitations etc, etc, etc, Being non-union --FDX -- can control some of these costs better --example being --the recent wage freeze. The more cost continues to climb --revenue must also climb. Customers are looking to pay less and less for shipping. If many of your costs are locked in by union contract --you are in trouble. Mgmt reduction is small compared to size of the unionized workforce. The recent years of union forcing more "Full Time Combo Jobs" has been a disaster. Low revenue packages will have to disappear---The contract provides for LAYOFFS ---less feeders,less drivers,less trucks, less bldgs --etc etc. Should be obvious to all --So Many in Denial ---"The Union will save us" Grow up !! The only way for UPS to grow will be full cooperation between the Company--Employees --and Union ---so far to date --this has never happened and in all probability it will never happen.:dissapointed:Sorry just stating obvious facts !!! Purple wanted to know -who will deliver the packages ??After the millions of low revenue packages are dropped --the remaining high revenue packages will be delivered by the much smaller and hopefully much wiser union workforce !!
