[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3495287, member: 49065"] I give you this, at least you are thinking big. I have worked in every area that you listed and will let you on a little secret; the work environment will never change no matter what job you are doing at UPS. Disagree about the hardest job, just try the preload. Anybody who has been working that shift for over 5 years are basically sleep deprived zombies. You are right about nobody wanting to start employment with the current pay structure, why would anybody want to do a physically demanding part time job with a full time commitment. HR is basically dragging the bottom of the barrel for any new hire to cover the turnover. Guess the old adage of "you get what you paid for" applies. People needn't worry about replacement workers if a strike does occur. Currently they are besides themselves just to cover the manning in all operations, the economy is just too good for anybody to take a risk of crossing a picket line and all that it would apply. The ones who might could cause major liability to the companies' assets and property. Anybody who participated in the "97" one will tell you that it will be a total shut-down. There will be no movement of packages domestically and internationally. The pilots were walking our picket line last time, this time it would be every major union with us with a bone to pick.
