[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 542406, member: 9789"] I have to agree with you in part, but I think you may be confusing doing the right thing vs. a recessionary economy. Working safely, following the contract as well as talking lunches and breaks during the proper time frame is doing the right thing and should be enforced by management as well as the union. This is doing the right thing... However... Cuts are going to be made to sustain the lack of growth and revenue that UPS is making. UPS (thank God) is not the USA or GM. The company can't mortgage it's way out of this mess without scaling back operating costs and expenses. There is a much bigger picture looming on the horizon. This is not just about each driver looking out for each other. It is about surviving an economic disaster that has far reaching effects on every aspect of our daily lives. Look what is going on with the pilots. The company (one way or another) is going to achieve a certain cost reduction. This could be a furlough of 10 percent of the pilots or it may be a combination of reduction of hours worked and benefit concessions. BUT something is going to give! [/QUOTE]
