The fact of the matter remains, we NEED to show the company that we can afford to sit for three weeks unharmed, and in turn, will the company be able to survive a strike lasting three weeks.
The end game will end up costing UPS management their jobs, as the company attempts to recoup its losses from those three weeks on the backs of their non union workers.
I am totally cool with that. Fire them all, if you ask me.
UPS cant afford to last longer than 3 weeks, even if operating at 10% of its capacity. When you factor in missed pickups, mis deliveries, service failures, injuries and accidents, the three weeks will cost the company a fortune.
The temporary loss of volume due to diversion will hurt in the begining, but our competition is totally unprepared to handle the volume so it will come back.
A strike for UPS is silly, but those in charge are determined to test its "investment" in technology. The IE department has surely given the thumbs up to its retarded programs as if they work without a hitch. Too bad, they havent the first clue on implementation or functionality.
Without "US" making or taking the corrective actions to make "their" programs work, the system will crash.
Just look at our loads when our preloader calls in sick or a load wall when a loader misses a shift. Its a disaster, and thats with trained supervisors and workers on the job. Just imagine what that will look like with off the street scabs being yelled at to load quickly...
Its a joke, and that joke is on UPS.
If they want a strike, lets give em one. Prepare, prepare prepare.
They play their games, and we will play ours.
Be safe brothers and sisters, plan and expect the unexpected. See if the company can do the same.
Peace
