[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4677735, member: 52145"] i always thought being clean cut all American boys and girls were the reason UPS grew their business so well. The public has confidence in us . It's almost run like a military outfit. Clean , well run , uniforms , and efficient ( for the most part ). I see USPS and Fedex drivers looking like they just got of prison. How is that supposed to grow a business? What's next? get rid of the uniforms? We are losing our brand with more and more contractors pulling our trailers , package using ugly rentals, the peak hires not needing to have the same appearance standards we had and more. Once appearance doesnt matter, uniforms will be next , then rentals instead of Brown , then on and on while the company continues to whittle away at the union until there is nothing left. In the 5 years I have been retired I come here to the Brown Cafe and read the complaints about what the company gets away with and the Union just ignoring or throwing up their hands. I can see the writing on the wall. In fact a lot of old timers were warning me when I worked there. The pay and bennies will probably be the last thing to go but it seems like it's going to happen.May take another generation or two. I know several non union truck drivers that are making 50-60k a year working max hours and they are happy to have that. Our Fed Ex driver clears 600 a week. He has a wife and new born and is starving. Once the union goes or becomes a non factor ( may be there ) it will be the "Race To The Bottom" People here may laugh when I say this. It's coming.
