[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 470472, member: 484"] Long lunch the times are a changing. And unless UPS changes with it, they will go the way of REA and DHL. The union retirement roles are full of drivers who worked for companies that are long gone, and most you would have never heard of. Not all changes are going to be painless either. As far as the big brother looking over your shoulder, UPS has been doing that for years, they just were not doing it every day for every driver. And while the majority of the drivers do things pretty much by the book, there are that group that like to play games. And its that few that ruin a lot of things for the majority. I remember years back a driver that ended up a diabetic. Lost 60 pounds and was not allowed to go back into driving. Our district "created" a full time inside job (before the 22-job creations) so he could get in the 15 more he needed to retire. Never forget one day after they busted a part time thief. He stated to me that he knew of stuff walking out the door at UPS almost nightly, but he was not going to say or do anything about it. So Ironic. Here it is, they make a full time job to help him out, knowing that this job now is a full time permanent position forever. And he thanks them back by covering for a bunch of damn thieves? I see the system as one that will fix some serious issues on both the hourly and management side. Someone asked if the union will be able to access the information. Absolutely. If the company is going to use something as discipline, the union has a right to access that information to defend the employee. d [/QUOTE]
