[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 722837, member: 10234"] Of course diversification started long before the name change. My point is (and this is just my opinion) the pkg delivery part of the equation has caused them the most grief in the way of cost and management. Here is the scenario as I see it....... The PAS/EDD system was developed in response to the 97 strike. They were looking for a way put a person off the street into a pkg car to perform delivery and pickup functions with a minimal amount of training. While the system developed has the potential to make that happen.....the poor implementation has thwarted that effort. While part of the system (in certain areas) is achieving some success.......overall it is not living up to expectations. If the system is ever overhauled and implemented correctly, it does not bode well for upcoming labor agreements. Plan B might be to shut down the delivery function altogether should the system not perform as advertised and a strike occur. So far that has not happened. But with every contract, I believe it becomes a more real possibility. Either way, it becomes a "catch-22" for the Teamster workforce. It's something to think about. Maybe I'm totally wrong. I hope I am. But with actions taken by other companies and some experience with this one, it appears to be a real possibility. [/QUOTE]
