[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 3655807, member: 42691"] We’re already have by a tough time stopping UPS from using contractors, and the current language only lets the company use them during peak. If we allow language in the contract that lets them use contractors for any rail load, that’s the beginning of the end for our good road jobs. As it is now, a lot of our mileage jobs carry loads from the rail. It’s not hard to see how this might play out for us. They could dramatically increase the amount of jobs they put on the rail, and have a bunch of locations where those loads could be pulled from for contractors to run. And again, UPS paid $1.8 billion for Coyote, and they would love nothing more than to ramp up the use of it. 2000 new jobs is nothing to sneeze at. But local rail jobs are just a step above shift jobs. Road jobs are our best jobs, and I’m afraid UPS’s intentions are to eliminate as many as they can. [/QUOTE]
