[QUOTE="yeldarb, post: 939172, member: 2220"] The mentalitity goes both ways. UPS knows how much they profit. They know that Union Pacific is a cheaper way to move freight. They know the post office is a bargain to put the packages on the porch. They are saving hundreds of millions per year by doing this with drivers at 30 bucks an hour. Other companies have NOT recieved the same types of raises we have. The gap is going to get wider in terms of UPS cost of getting a package from point A to B, and give UPS more reason to send more elsewhere. 5 years ago, there was no post office delivering our packages. We send probably 100 trailers through Union Pacific a day, and pick up probably the same being delivered to us. Each of our post offices get 60-120 packages a day. The volume is there to create new full time jobs. The problem is, other companies are creating the full time jobs. A wage freeze for full timers would allow UPS to stay firm on their rates, and that will hurt Fedex and competitors much more than UPS. UPS is more financially run than the others, but UPS will continue to use more contractors to deliver our volume. Earning more more isnt going to help anyone in the long term at UPS. History might show that greed was the downfall of the Teamsters and UPS. I dont understand how the people who want more dont see that? [/QUOTE]
