[QUOTE="randomUPSISer, post: 688550, member: 24399"] Are you so sure that we arent "cutting at the VP level" because the new CEO realized how incredibly top heavy UPS is and decided to do something about it? As much as I have harped on Davis on here, I have to admit some respect for him chopping corporate functions and even up to VP level positions while also chopping lower level employees. Personally? I don't think we need to layoff the union guys to get this accomplished. Laying off VP's isn't so much about "saving the company" as it is about "growing profit margins and removing bureaucracy" as far as I can tell. At least the pilots aren't out purchasing billboards on highly traveled interstates saying they are going to shut down UPS like certain other labor union groups within UPS ;) Personally I expect absolutely nothing will happen and that the pilots are playing "who's got the bigger dlck" games with the company. I highly highly doubt they strike over this, therefor their power really is limited. If you were the union leadership though with a bunch of rank and file members complaining you HAVE to at least make some empty threats to make it look like you are "going to do something about it" for them. Everyone looks out for their own interest, and the IPA leadership are looking out for their positions at the head of the IPA. [/QUOTE]
