[QUOTE="Brownslave688, post: 1407555, member: 34439"] I believe that is over a 30% increase over our non peak workforce. Here's the problem and we have all mentioned it. Many facilities simply can not handle the volume. No matter hiw many workers. Only so much can come down a belt at once. Do I blame ups for this? Only partly. When times were great and we were the only game in town we should of aggressively expanded buildings. At my building they looked into expanding in the 80's but decided it was too expensive. Now the town has doubled in size since then and just to bring the building up to OSHA code would cost double what the original expansion estimate. I also blame amazon and other retailers for putting such pressure on ups price wise. If they expect ups to expand for a few months of volume they have to be willing to pay more the rest of the year.
