[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1469426, member: 22662"] Globalization, intercontinental commerce aided by robotics and computerization, has changed the marketplace. The CEO of UPS might outwardly claim that the "highly paid, highly skilled union workforce is the best in the world and will continue to lead in customer satisfaction for parcel delivery for decades to come...yada, yada, yada." He doesn't believe a word of it. He's seen the competition stiffen at a fraction of the cost while taking market share and building infrastructure. Laws are already being written to jack the pensions of current retirees, future retirees can't be comfortable. The door is open for companies to eventually dump health insurance. Soon retirement benefits, promises made will be able to be lawfully broken. The global labor market is cheap and it's coming to the US. And you think UPS isn't looking for a way to cash in on those "market forces"? [/QUOTE]
