[QUOTE="isdrone, post: 57645"] Every time an earnings report comes out we have this same discussion. DDomino. UPS is in business to make money - period. We can all complain about how much we make for the work we do. I would love to have more money, but it is not going to happen. I am assuming that you are a driver? How much do you make compared to FedEx, DHL, USPS, etc.? If you could make better money than I would assume you would be working somewhere else. All of us - management and hourly agreed to perform work for a price - salary, hourly wage, whatever. Last time I looked my check showed up at its usual time for the amount I expected. I am sure yours did as well. If you want more ask for it in the next contract. Also, would you agree to a pay cut if the company went in the tank? Look at the pilots - the rest of the airline industry (except for Southwest) is a wreck. They would be hard pressed to find a job with another carrier for the same money they are making now. You need to look very hard at the domestic package numbers. The growth is anemic at best. International (China in particular) is fueling the earnings. DHL & FedEx are eating away at our volume and DHL will get better at deliverying packages. The earnings were also inflated by the lack of spending - buildings, etc. this year. Cost reductions will only work for so long. Remember the old saying "packages=jobs"? It still holds true. This is capitalism at it's finest. [/QUOTE]
