[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 4887792, member: 14596"] PVDs probably provide less in the way of direct cost savings than they do agility and flexibility in operations. The fact that UPS is built around the stability provided by the NMA, which is a direct roadblock to flexibility, UPS is looking for ways to compete. I get that this one is fraught with abuse potential, but as far as I know the only way to use PVDs outside of peak is to pay them top driver rate. The notorious tight fists that run UPS are not going to pay that for lower performance unless they are getting something out of it. And no, screwing the union is not anything they're getting out of it. They'd be happy to screw the union certainly, but not if it costs any money. [/QUOTE]
