[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5434446, member: 93115"] [B]when you lie about things you do that.[/B] Amazon is a competitor that UPS is treating as a customer....ask Borders books how their relationship with Amazon went when Amazon started delivering the same services instead of having customers go to Borders to pick up Amazon orders. Amazon is buying planes to directly compete. They've already bought the trucks. [B]How many Amazon trucks did you see 10 years ago...how many are on the road today? [/B] Cut way back on our OT because these results included the summer vacation season and non-busiest season. [B]Wait until they start cutting headcount for the basis of the 2023 CBA[/B] and lay off a lot of these guys--so when they decide to go back to 100% staffing they can claim to fulfill hiring targets in the CBA. You got hired as a driver recently---let me hand you your pink slip dated Jan 15th right now. We'll need you back two days after Memorial Day but we'll lay you off in June so you won't count as a job that needs to stay through the next contract. Good luck in between. [B]You do pay for health care as a UPS employee now[/B]---it's [B]$100 for singles[/B] and [B]$200 for families[/B]---it used to be nothing until the year before Hoffa's best contract ever.

[B]They string them along until Thanksgiving week.[/B] The problem is they are in a tight job market still and won't meet their hiring needs because of poor pay comparatively to the effort required.
