[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5423771, member: 49065"] Another factor with settling early with the Teamsters is the publicity it would generate for both sides. The Teamsters can point to a great victory and use that for future organizing (Fed Ex/Amazon etc) that will actually help UPS to start getting back our customer base from the other couriers. Currently the independent Fed ex ground contractors are getting killed by inflation, they will be losing more business in the next year with the recession in the forecast. The Company and their shareholders will win by settling early with another 5 year contract way before there is talk about a work stoppage. So far there no major issue that would force a strike situation unlike the “97” strike. It appears that Corporate is gutting their so called redundant departments and subcontracting them out. They are slowly getting rid of any incentive for promotion by eliminating or reducing management’s carrot 🥕 on a stick perks..MIP is probably next. [/QUOTE]
