[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 5649575, member: 14596"] A cost neutral contract seems appropriate for a company that is doing OK. UPS has a profit margin of around 10%, so they profit 10c for every dollar brought on. That's comfortable, but certainly not the crazy 50% margins the rail roads and other industries pull in. Why do they cry poor every contract year when it's clearly bull pucky? Easy, negotiating leverage, same reason the IBT cries 'evil, greedy corporate swindlers' every contract year when that is also clearly bull pucky. [/QUOTE]
