[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 3047797, member: 37112"] Pretty much what Bubble is saying. UPS [B][U]is [/U][/B]doing just fine and doing fine BECAUSE of the efforts of it's unionized workforce that is sacrificing their bodies for this organization. But...when negotiating contracts, comparisons always come into play and unlike the gains made years ago come contract time in freight when all the big players were unionized, UPS uniquely has no comparables other than a heavily subsidized federal post office. It's nearest private competitor (FedEx) isn't close to UPS's wage and benefit pack, yet our members rightfully expect their extraordinary efforts should produce extraordinary contracts. Therein lies the dilemma, how do the negotiators get more than UPS wants (or is now allowed by their public ownership) to give. And how much can UPS give and remain competitive in the market, when the competition is widening their nets? [/QUOTE]
