[QUOTE="542thruNthru, post: 2813461, member: 48491"] Almost every driver was pulled into the office and told "UPS has to tighten their belt. So that means you need to do more stops and a bigger area till we get through this recession" Pretty much every driver said ok. About 10 cover drivers were laid off and 6 routes gone in a center of 62 routes. Once we were out of the recession management refused too lower the stop counts or add routes. We had a record number of people go on 9.5. Weak threats were made to try and scare people from getting on 9.5. In the building pt supes were sending people home left and right and loading trucks for them. Everytime someone said something or filed a grievance you were screamed at for trying to take down the company. It was a interesting time. A ton of people got divorced in that time period. A lot of drivers lost their houses also. [/QUOTE]
