[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1636302, member: 17969"] What does that have to do with me? Furthermore, what does that do for your mis understanding of the question? All those thousands of packages being diverted to the post office is already having a major effect on the number of routes run in the centers. Yes, UPS is in business to make money, but we are in the business of protecting our futures. The current administration has in the last 8 years, given the company a ton of concessions with the blessings of the current locals, and the effects are just being recognized by the membership. We had the same language (Section 4. Technological Change) in 2008 and look at today, OSII and OSIII packages going to the post office. Without any serious regulation, UPS is sending larger and larger packages to the post office. The Teamsters have done NOTHING to stop it. In what was suppose to be small bags and packages less than 10 pounds, this surepost has grown into furniture, carpets, omaha steaks and such. The company's excuse? "well, we cant tell the shipper how to ship packages"... So much for your "Section 4. Technological Change" Hoffa and co. have simply allowed the company to divert thousands of packages out of the package division and into postal trucks. The next step is obvious. Skip the package cars alltogether and get the packages directly to the UPS store or delivery centers upon "customer request". Get back to me when you lose your route for the "I told you so conversation" That "contract" your hold dearly, is a worthless pile of crap when it comes to technological change. The Teamsters have become paper tigers, along with the likes of yourself. TOS. [/QUOTE]
