[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1822281, member: 8481"] You don't understand. The union did what it had to in order to try and keep jobs. Without Surepost, we would not see any of this volume under 10 pounds. It would be going straight to the USPS or to FedEx and their Smartpost. At least we now pick it up, sort it, deliver it to the center and then deliver it to the USPS. This retains quite a few jobs. Without it, sort jobs and feeder jobs would be lost. It does cost some package jobs, but they would be gone anyway if this volume went straight to the USPS or FedEx. If the union took a stand to end Surepost, the volume and jobs would leave with it. Amazon and other companies want cheaper deliveries than us or FedEx. You can blame the government for allowing the USPS to retain the biggest monopoly in the world. First Class Mail. But that is not the problem in and of itself. The problem is that the USPS is using revenue from its monopoly on First Class Mail to subsidize its package delivery and deliver cheaper than us or FedEx. Don't blame the union, blame the government for allowing the USPS to do this. [/QUOTE]
