[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2930340, member: 8481"] You are correct. Lots of reasons. While labor is the biggest reason, the whole point is that UPS raises their rates because their cost of doing business has increased. Planes cost more, package cars cost more, uniforms cost more. Labor costs more. But why do all these things cost more today than they did 20 years ago when minimum wage was like $3/hr. Oh, wait. That's right. Minimum wage is almost 4 times higher today than it was back then. Labor, the main reason goods and services cost more today than they used to. [/QUOTE]
