[QUOTE="hoser, post: 150900, member: 6357"] I'm not saying anyone's lazy, I'm not accusing anyone either. You're over reacting. What I am saying, is that from the client's perspective, the operational perspective, all things being equal, they're going for the owner operator who wouldn't mind cutting a corner and driving 10 hours straight in a juristiction where 8 hours is the max. That kind of thing. Further to the UPS management non-representation stuff, I don't care. There are labour laws that protect me. I have a lot more faith in the laws (and a labour lawyer) than a union that sucks 3 hours pay out of me a month. Storm trooper mentality? Comparing people who want more in life and their job to the SS? This proves that you're so imbalanced, you're not worthy of a reply...yet I replied. Lastly, you're right, UPS does not know how to run a non-union business. Unions are the result of that company's corporate culture. If UPS tried really hard, they could manage to run frieight as a non-unionized organization. But they would cringe at the lower productivity. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. whenever you acquire a company, especially a company entering the UPS family, it's gonna be bloated. it's going to be structurally differernt, and this is going to require restructuring. it's gonna take time, and it's gonna cost money. look at FX's acquisition of its freight unit, ground unit, and print/copy unit. not to mention that FX was smart enough to acquire a respectable print/copy company like kinkos (if you need to photocopy stuff at 4 am, where do you go? if you need 500 brocures printed, who do you call? if you want a huge vinyl sign made, who do you summon? MBE doesn't come to mind...) or look at UPS' SCS. great unit, just having the fat trimmed. give it a few years, and stop acting like a bloody investor in the depression era. [/QUOTE]
