[QUOTE="1UPSpeMech, post: 3858828, member: 66703"] Our hub volume is down close to 10% I have heard from management. The surepost seems light as does our 3 delivery centers where I am. I did see a new 7 day layoff notice hanging. Do they always do that this early? I was told the tractor/package car mechanics have been offered a six hour work day if they wish ((DO NOT GO DOWN THAT SLIPPERY SLOPE!!)) and All purchases of tires and equipment are on hold. They supposedly cut the American Express card access to to most departments, vendor payments are on hold, etc. NO engines are allowed to be purchased. To me, this sounds more like a financial stress than rerouting packages through other or new places. Our stock and Fedex's fell last week and they are blaming "Amazon Air" and their scab delivery drivers for that. What we heard was Amazon will not only be delivering their own China knockoffs that are sold on their site but, they are also trying to cut our throats by providing shipping services to companies that they don't even sell products for! What we were told last year was to expect this. We were told that Amazon had a plan to use our services and then copy it. They planned all along to see how we move things and then mirror it! Now they've done it and Now buying from them is like demanding that Fedex deliver all of your packages to your home. If you all remember, RPS (Now FDX Ground/FHD) started EXACTLY like this. They used contractors and scab labor to bear the equipment costs and became a massive competitor to us. AMZL is doing that And getting these people financing for trucks! Its been in the news. Now, we didn't come to be the biggest and oldest in the world by accident! I do believe that our corporate management does actually have the ability to gain back what we lose or find new channels to keep bringing profit (and our drivers are second to none) but... don't we have enough membership to help this out? i.e. stop buying from Amazon (that has now positioned itself as our competitor) and cancel our personal prime memberships? I literally will do this. Half of the crap I've bought from them is faked products anyway- down to Samsung labeled batteries, Frigidaire fridge water filters, work light batteries, Dewalt labeled products, Samsung labeled phone chargers, etc. They don't care. You call to complain and they just refund you and make it sound like a one time favor. Try to leave a bad review? They block it most of the time! We can do without Prime TV that makes you pay for half of whats offered (unlike Netflix) and do without reruns of House when it comes to coming together to secure our futures, incomes, retirements! Thats all just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
