[QUOTE="Tony Q, post: 3808149, member: 70940"] UPS Freight will never be the same company again. This is what happens when supposed union leaders play politics with members jobs. In the even that a strike is averted, the company will not be the same. The good freigh, that they had before the current cleaning out of the system won’t be easy to get back. The members who bought into the politics, families will feel the brunt of this. Even if this contract is ratified the damage is done. The volume will not come back. Those who preached that ups freight earnings went up were wrong. UPS Freight is lumped in with UPS supply chain solutions and UPS CSI as far as earnings. I watched a video a few days ago with that kid from Wisconsin, where he says that UPS Freight made a billion last year. This is blatant misinformation. For those who think voting at the Local Union halls will decrease the vote, it didn’t last time. The vote totals actually went up. With this new twist ,UPS cleaning out the system, most will have time to vote, and a reason. If there is a strike, hopefully all those vote no tough guys will come and man the picket lines. If the members vote yes, there still won’t be work for a while and many will be on an indefinite lay off. The UPS Freight side will continue to not be profitable and come next contract (if UPS doesn’t close the doors permanently) will be very hard to not go backwards. UPS freight was the best Freight company to work for by far. With a top rate about to hit $29 an hour, it is heads and tails above the rest. Their pension was also better than most. [/QUOTE]
