[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5624917, member: 58386"] Couple of things to think about here. First of all no one really knows how big an impact AI is going to have on the box bucking business. The impact may be so deep and expansive that even Dano can't hold onto his job no matter how many trains his mom pulls. Secondly, have you ever noticed how quiet the industry prognosticators have become lately in regard to their prediction of an early UPS/Teamster labor contract settlement? So here they sit, 36 days away from the current contract expiration and the story in WAPO says that O'Brien is the face of the new Teamsters and has emboldened his membership to the point where a strike is not outside the realm of possibility. Something that was considered an impossibility just a month ago. As the two parties march steadily toward the expiration I would think that Memphis Fats will pause for a little bit with regard to the disembowelment of his labor force. Cutting his workforce in the face of UPS strike should one happen he may as a result come to discover that he doesn't have as many sworn allies in congress that he thinks he has. [/QUOTE]
