[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1584431, member: 32753"] To the idea that there are a lot of people out there willing to work a UPS workload at, say $23/hr: I don't buy it. Yes, someone may be willing to deliver packages for that much, even deliver air and ground together as we do. However, to jump through all the hoops we do, with telematics, ORION, the production push.... People like to point to FDXG drivers as an example of people doing what we do at far less the wage. Truth is, they aren't even close. I mean, Ground drivers don't even have to focus on the two classes of GROUND packages like we do, with FedEx having split them into two subsidiaries: Ground and Home! In order to really pay workers far less, I believe UPS would have to specialize the workforce, as FedEx has done. Otherwise, it would be a case of drivers lasting a few months, maybe a year. [/QUOTE]
