[QUOTE="AccidentProne, post: 5405403, member: 99434"] If we stop shipping for Amazon, it will hurt them in the short term, and they will ramp up their own fleet which hurts UPS in the long term. They will initially shift their volume to Fedex and other small shipping companies to mitigate the damage. 1. Less OT = Less PTimers wanting to work. I would not work this job if I couldn't get 10-15 extra hours on top of my 25 ST. 2. Paper tape is better for the environment and I am all for it even it sucks. All boxes rip if you drop them hard on their corners. 3. Egress is the last thing I worry about on Preload loading package cars. I worry more about drivers coming in early and ruining my tempo. More packages = more money. All the things you listed only benefits the top seniority drivers that stay after the layoffs from the volume cut. It :censored:s everyone else; The low seniority drivers, the unload, the sorters, the small sort, etc. [/QUOTE]
