[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 477750, member: 7666"] So here we go again. UPS management is not worth anything, but Union employees keep the company afloat. Well, who do you think makes all the business decisions regarding new services, upgrades in technology, acquisitions of other companies, and the global market? That would be a team of management people at the top, who have the foresight to position UPS as a global organization, providing first class service to our customers. UPS is a union company, and as such, has the highest paid service providers, regardless if you are in package, hub, feeders, air, automotive or plant engineering. And let's not forget our non union administrative employees who make a contribution to UPS as well. UPS has also been streamling management since the 90's with consolidations of regions and districts globally as well. So is UPS top heavy in management, after 2 buyouts, retiree positions being evaluated and possibly not being replaced at the same level of management, I don't think so. Imagine [U]any[/U] company that did not have management, and a group of employees running the company. Who takes the leadership role to ensure accountability to the end user? Be it a customer or product. Someone needs to be at the top of an organization, have the foresight and knowledge to adjust to economic conditions, to stay profitable. And we haven't seen the worst of this recession yet, according to financial analysts. So can management be laid off, anything is possible, but keep in mind volume dictates the number of jobs available for all UPSer's and everyone is at risk. JMO [/QUOTE]
