Let's get one thing straight. UPS is not struggling like they want you to think...at least not in the way many other companies are. They posted a $400 some odd million dollar profit. Down from $800 some odd million at the same time last year, but they are profiting none the less. Much better than a lot of companies. And this is with union burden and taxes and everything in the mix. Don't let them tell you they are struggling to stay afloat cause it's bs. They're not where they want to be, but they aren't going to need govt. loans anytime soon. Once FedEx is forced to pay the same taxes as us, they will loose market share to us. I believe it's alright to run lean in lean times, but don't bs your employees.
