[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1221951, member: 17969"] [b]Re: The Western Conference and Local 177 H&W DISASTER![/b] pm I dont care about Fedex. They cannot handle our volume and the measly parcels they take hardly dents the business. They only take the business UPS is willing to "GIVE AWAY". When i see fedex drivers delivering at 9pm, Ill start worrying about them taking our work. Unfortunately, what I do see, is fedex using independent contractors working for peanuts, delivering on saturdays with their children in their trucks riding shotgun. What I see, is fedex drivers being forced to take 2/3 hour unpaid lunches waiting for pickups to begin watching a movie while Im humping my ash off. What I see is fedex turning over their employees at high rates, one of the highest in the industry and simply replacing them with cheaper dumber drivers. This is hardly the business model that will put UPS out of business. Maybe UPS needs to eliminate the Industrial Engineers who are killing the UPS business model and wasting more money, miles and hours than in years past. What YOU should worry about is the Teamsters giving back all that has been gained over the last 30 years in just two contracts. IN a third contract, it may be all gone. This current contract negotiation was only a wedge that the company intended to drive between the members and the International and local officers. I think we can agree that they were successful. Look how we treated each other during the last 4 months. TOS [/QUOTE]
