Can I fight this?
One of my CPU customers processes about 3000 UPS ground packages every day. They only put about 30 on my trailer to pick up and take to the hub. The rest I have to sign the end of day summary and they hold them until Saturday. On Saturday morning UPS freight comes and picks up the trailers and takes them to UPS ground hubs. We have been losing runs all year. There has been at least one bump going on at all times since since bid time. A couple of us have talked to our BA and he says there is some kind of side agreement in the southern region that allows ups to move packages any way they want and there is nothing he can do. Is there any thing that we can do. We have guys that will not even make a good year for retirement since it seems that we are not even guaranteed work unless you are on a bid route. We have gotten them to lay some guys off so they could at least work some in package. But it seems there is plenty of work here.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Edit to add: Our BA told us that all side agreements over ride the NMA and there is nothing we can do to change it.
