[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1608674, member: 8481"] A driver capped at $25/hr with full benefits taking 10 hours to do a route under ODO compared to a seasoned vet taking 9 hours to do it the right way will save UPS over $50/day per driver. This equates to over $1B annually saved on wages. Don't think for a second that UPS hasn't done the math. Would you strike for the unborn? UPS keeps current employees where they are at with annual raises. Caps new hires at $25/hr with full benefits. This is the top rate at FedEx, DHL, all the union trucking firms, USPS etc. They can, and will, get good employees who will stay for $25/hr with full medical and pension. Nobody, or very few, would strike over this issue. Current employees don't care because their wage remains the same. And in 30 years, UPS will have all $25/hr drivers. [/QUOTE]
