[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 172442, member: 2020"] Go Wilbur!! Hit a nerve--and you are right on the money(no pun intended!) when you give the example of the high cost of labor that UPS has to bear.It is much cheaper for UPS to pay overtime than put another driver on the road-----right of the bat UPS has to pay health and welfare to the union--so a new driver will cost $1000 a month--BEFORE WAGES!!!! Unless there is a new catagory with the next contract for P/T Drivers --or relief to use utility drivers and not guaranty 4-8 hours nothing is going to change---except the fact that our competitors will keep stealing our customers away with lower rates----- because they can afford to offer lower rates because their cost to serve is much lower.As soon as UPS offers rates lower than our cost to serve--than our competitors sue us for "Predatory" pricing. I want-----I want---I want--that is all I read on these boards----I will take $5 less an hour to go home at a decent hour?? It was nice to have the flexibility to run through your lunch and get home and see the kid's baseball/soccer game-----not any more---a mandatory 1 hour lunch because a "MINORITY " of drivers complained that they didn't have time to take a lunch--now the same ones are complaining that they are working too many hours?????
