[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 5659537, member: 14596"] Amazon logistics is not a fly by night organization. They are in for the long haul and are on pace to surpass UPS volume in a couple years, with essentially one customer. UPS cannot compete with them on service largely because UPS does not deliver on Sundays. That more than any other single factor is why AMZL exists. I believe your estimate of those two companies is based primarily on wishful thinking. UPS could indeed compete on price. If it were willing to sacrifice most or all of its profits. It won't. Personally, I think it should have done so long ago. It should have put price increases on indefinite hiatus and as costs grew, it would have moved from record profits to 6 or 8 losing quarters going into negotiations. That, clearly is a pipe dream. UPS SHOULD reward those who've made the profits possible as long as UPS has decided profits every quarter are all that matter and market share growth does not. They should give the part timers the raises asked for. UPS does not want to be made an example of. SOB does however want to make an example of UPS and carry that into other industries. My guess is even if UPS says we give we will give you whatever you want, Sean will find a reason for at least 7 to 12 days of strike for the optics abs for leverage in other negotiations. I agree that this strike will be much more visible than last time even was. So you might want to get word out to whatever IBT goon last time did a brake check on that feeder safety manager in TN last time and wound up killing him, probably should not choose that level of violence this time around.
