[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 1374522, member: 17867"] UPS issued it's earnings report today.. Revenue is up, number of packages per day is up 1.1 million packages PER DAY over same quarter last year. We made over half a billion dollars last quarter in profit, after taxes and after all of us got great pay and benefits. On a smaller scale.. My center is hiring more drivers than I have seen in my seven years at UPS. And these are not PT air driver jobs, these are full time driver jobs. Meanwhile over the past seven years all but one of our PT air driver jobs has been eliminated. Instead the work is done by full time drivers who have routes that pick up air in the morning and early afternoon, return to the building in time for the flights (1430) then go back out and make ground pick ups and/or deliver resis. We have been steadily adding new bid routes in the last eighteen months. None of this sounds like a shrinking business or a company that is conspiring to do away with full time drivers and replace them with part timers. [/QUOTE]
