[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 819360, member: 18708"] We all know the company and companies survive on employee turnover, in some cases. The union wants turnover. Think about it this way: it is not about 'less members' because even at bare-bones, UPS will need to have so many drivers to cover every route and of course the covers, etc. If a 20 year driver is gone, instead of him making 30 years, that is a large savings in pension when you think about the thousands of drivers per local dipping into the pension funds. Also, the union gets union dues and initiation fees from the new-hire. That is why the union AND UPS keep the wages low- so turnover remains high and actually both parties benefit from that, no? The union benefits, as long as [i]the number of jobs[/i] remains fairly steady....because then they're getting more initiation fees, the same amount of dues collected, and far less strain on the pension funds in the future. Just imo [/QUOTE]
