[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1028941, member: 4886"] OK.. But there's a key difference still. A person who goes to school as an Engineer for example. He\she can work in many different industries for many different companies. When you graduate with an engineering degree you are not shoehorned into a degree in engineering only for transportation. What is true that in our industry, the UPS Service Provider is the highest paid compared to all other companies. (The competitors primarily being FDX Air, FDX Grd, USPS, Couriers, DHL, Messenger svcs etc). I will grant you, we expect a lot more from our drivers then other companies demand. Our drivers work hard and should be compensated well. However, when it becomes noncompetitive then it becomes unsustainable in the long term. We are in a similar boat the UAW\Big three were in the 70's. Remember what they say, people who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. [/QUOTE]
