This sucks. Exactly what someone said happen in 98 is happening now, UPS is laying off peeps before contract time.

No worries, they'll start terminating and suspending folks and y'all'll shine again.

Hang tough, rebel. This might help:

Post strike in 97’ is not in anyway comparable to what we are starting to see now. Layoffs then were short term and completely related to getting our volume back up and running.

Today’s layoffs are due to economic/competition headwinds along with preemptive moves by our shippers to better position themselves in case of a strike.

Unfortunately layoffs are gonna be long and painful for those effected.

Don’t they just go back to the warehouse and demand their 8? Doesn’t sound so bad to me lol.

Yep, they had no choice but hire drivers due to the shipping circumstances that Covid created and that now has ended.

They should have used seasonals instead of hiring permanent drivers. Common sense would have said the high volume wouldn’t last.

You can only use seasonals for six months. This was a two year thing. No that wouldn’t work. There was no playbook for Covid.

I heard Friday that 40 package car routes were cut (10 per center here in Chema).
Feeders cut 4, I think (hard to tell, Feeders cut and add all the time).
40 guys going back inside, that's huge.

If I was a feeder driver I'd be raising hell if feeders are in the building and contractors are still pulling loads.
