[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 3558557, member: 14596"] You absolutely deserve a fair share. You are also hands down the highest compensated workers in the industry, so it could be argued that you are getting a fair share. The total cost for UPS to provide service has been rising steadily as UPS' market share has been declining, and that is not a coincidence. Yes, the explosion of ecommerse has meant UPS total volume has gone up as it's percentage of the market has dropped. If the trend does not stop, though, won't matter how big that market gets if UPS' share goes to zero. The real concern I have is the folks who believe the past several contracts were major concessions when they have all continued the trend of significantly raising UPS' cost to serve. There seems to be a large movement in the ranks who believe UPS' revenues are essentially infinite and will only be satisfied by a massive increase in compensation costs that will lead to an increase in the speed of UPS' race to zero percent market share. In otherworlds, if your negotiators get you a great contract, how many on here will be able to recognize it as such? [/QUOTE]
