[QUOTE="soberups, post: 626388, member: 14668"] Pobre, As a shareholder...[I]your[/I] best interests would be served by having UPS's union workforce replaced with employees earning minimum wage with no benefits. This would increase UPS's profitability and increase your bottom line. As employees....[I]our [/I]best interests would[I] not[/I] be served by being a part of your fantasy. 10 years ago, UPS stock went public and skyrocketed in value...all while supporting the "inefficient, overpaid union workforce" that you so clearly despise. Many of the management people I work for became millionares on paper. Perhaps you did also. I, on the other hand, got the contractually agreed upon $.65 pre hour wage increase. I didnt complain then; I had made one choice, and my management had made another. Choices have benefits, as well as consequences. We are a union workforce. That isnt going to change. You need to accept that fact. I'm sorry your stock is in the tank, but that is the nature of capitalism. It will come back. UPS has continued and will continue to be a successful, profitable company even with its supposed "union cost disadvantage". We are the hardest working and most productive employees in the industry. We earn every penny we make. Do you want to increase productivity? Then quit whining about how much we are paid and find a way to train a functioning preload. Find a way to let your front line people actually [I]manage [/I]their operations instead of being forced to spoon-feed irrelevant statistics to their corporate masters. Find a way to quit micromanaging every moment of every workday, and encourage your people to work [I]smarter [/I]instead of mindlessly following a corporate mandate. Set us up to succeed...and we will. Set us up to fail....and we will. The choice is yours. [/QUOTE]
