[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 3597704, member: 11234"] You might not like to hear it but he's right. About "record profits". They're NOT. I know people love to parrot this endlessly but for the US package division it isn't true. By the way, every year, good economy or not, a Teamster driver receives "RECORD COMPENSATION!" too. "1% ownership class who do nothing at all but spend fiat fake money and hoover up all the productivity increases " They also keep you employed, and maintain the structure you have the freedom to complain about. The Teamsters are the face of UPS and deliver to the customer every day. There's no denying the tremendous value that provides, however, in the past few decades, the Teamsters did NOT: Set up new business outside the US Start an airline Take the company public Introduce internet tracking of all packages online Arrange for the purchase of various other businesses that have truly contributed to "record profits". Without these things, you couldn't really negotiate over whether incoming drivers will make 34 or 40 dollars an hour. [/QUOTE]
