Actually, it's Congress that won't allow it. The Unions may not want to give up Saturday delivery; but it's Congress' legal mandate that requires Saturday delivery, (and a number of other costly impositions.)

Hoax, I am was indeed talking about Dist. Mgr. Your 1990 reference does coincide with when these practices seemed to end. The intent of my post more than that he is unseen, is that he acts unapproachable (dare I say ABOVE us) Also as I see you later posted, how their busy schedules MIGHT interfere with center visits. It should be a GIVEN that every center should expect to see their district manager at the very least once per year. Now being in the NJ District I'm not talking about a very large territory, as I'm sure other districts encompass entire multiple states. Hell even the Div. Mgr. what little he "pops" in, amounts to a drive through visit. What is going on with the upper-level (executive) positions at this company that they have decided this is the way the company we all helped build should be run? This is why people post sentiments that Jim Casey is rolling over in his grave. This is why I will only refer to Scott Davis as CEO Davis. I heard the jokes back when Jim Kelly was CEO, that we were run by a "trucker" but he would not have allowed half the bs that is infecting us now, to continue. This divide is caused by upper level management being clueless to what we at the centers do on a daily basis, and futhermore by same managers not allowing their charges to accurately witness said centers.

We had drivers being laid off at the same time that other drivers were working the 14 hr days, so to compare the $54K in grievances to the cost of hiring an additional driver is not really accurate.
When a full-scale driver who is on the 9.5 list is forced to work 59 or 60 hours a week and files for penalty pay, he is essentially making over $90 an hour once he exceeds 47.5 hours for that week. So it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that a new hire in progression could be doing that same work for about 1/4 of the cost.

Instead of some packages being delivered the final mile by UPS based on zip code, all packages will go to the post office regardless of zip.

They aren't just smalls anymore.
I have 22 going to the post office today, with 7 of then being boxes that aren't small.
No chance that there will be some misloads associated with this system?
I'm sure the Post Office will give them back to us in a few days.

Not unless they are really big bags upstate.....About UPS SurePost
Note: UPS SurePost is available only if you have a contract for this service.
The UPS SurePost services provide the convenience of UPS shipping and USPS-delivery to customers' mailboxes. UPS WorldShip determines if UPS or the USPS completes the final mile of delivery of each shipment.
When working with this service, keep in mind:
If this service is enabled, you can process a shipment with this service from the US 48 to the US 50, APO/FPO/DPO, PO Box, and US territory Ship To destinations. See Address Guidelines.
The shipments are validated and processed like small packages.
Each shipment must be a single piece forward shipment. The shipment navigation bar becomes inactive.
Four UPS SurePost services are available: SurePost Less than 1 lb, SurePost 1 lb or Greater, SurePost Bound Printed Matter, and SurePost Media.
An Endorsement value is required for USPS-delivery shipments.
Two sub-classes are available if you have a contract and select SurePost Less than 1 lb in the UPS Service box.
The total dimension of the package cannot exceed 130 inches if you select SurePost Less than 1 lb or SurePost 1 lb or Greater or 108 inches if you select SurePost Bound Printed Matter or SurePost Media in the UPS Service box. To determine this dimension, measure the package length and then add twice the width and twice the height.
The total package weight cannot exceed 70 pounds.
If you select a UPS SurePost service when the Unit of Measure system preference is Metric, the Unit of Measure is changed to Imperial for the UPS SurePost shipment only.
The question about residential delivery charges is what does that rate represent? For example say a package cost an additional $2 to deliver it to a residence. That $2 should be covering all costs with a profit. What all carriers (except USPS) is saying is we don't want to do resi's and we want the post office to deliver it instead, why? What does the $2 represent? If this indeed is a money loser, why isn't the charge more, like $3? Why isn't the service charge at a point where the carriers in fact do want to go out and deliver them to a residence? That is how the other special services work. They want your insurance amount for example. Why is residential a mixed/confused bag? Why doesn't it's service charge excite the carriers to want people to choose it? With USPS closing 1000's of post offices over the next few years, shipping services to residences is going backwards. I don't like the calendar moving forward and services (all walks of life) moving backwards, feels like fail, feels 3rd world to me. Price residential charges where it excites the carriers.
