[QUOTE="yeldarb, post: 939043, member: 2220"] This is where I disagree. If you cut the benefits package, it is a glorified fedex job. We do deliver what it takes two of their companies to do, and we are held to a much higher standard from our company. The profits are there with our salaries as full timers which do not warrant a pay cut, but I dont think UPS will be willing to go much higher without a serious fight, which would cost us all. We are the most expensive company to ship with, and with a 2 billion dollar profit, why not DROP the rates a little and get some of the volume back that Fed ex has taken from us since '97? We have a opportunity to put a serious hurt of Fedx, and UPS corporate doesnt seem to care. We have some huge accounts in my area that are fed ex, that UPS is unwilling to match the price on. I remember the days of delivering 90 to home depot, and RPS carried their 3 in. Now its about even with Fed ex. Why cant we match a price of a competitor, when we will be going to that stop anyways to do a delivery? [/QUOTE]
