Cause!!! ----Our first CEO who didn't work at UPS prior- seems the best ones started part time and worked their way up. Make the biggest dollars short term decisions. Also anyone that was here before the stock went public can see UPS in decline

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Steady decline, I started in 1990. Pathetic, like most things these days. Service is an afterthought, all about the Benjamin’s.

Maybe everyone needs to report this to their BA so it can funnel up to the international?

Hired for peak in 81, then called back in 82, full time package driver off the street. Oh, how things changed once going public. Owned by its managers, Managed by its owners. Service slowly went down to answer to the shareholders. OZ Nelson worked his way up the ladder, now hiring from outside UPS to manage Big Brown was not a good move. Retired 16 years ago and the decline in service has only gotten worse. Ups sells no products just service, so when that fails you see the results in due time. The old timers grew this company especially when NDA started. Now SS Brown is taking on water and those of you that have been around for a while, are making sure the bilge pumps are working round the clock. Glad I was around when we were a greatly respected company. Seeing all the issues on Brown Cafe makes me worry about new hires down the road. Making a decent living at UPS includes many sacrifices that the outside world never sees. Many of you can relate to that, and it continues to this day. Tougher to make a career now than it ever was. Wonder what the Casey family is thinking? Peace

You have heard correctly. I am one of the mechanics in the UPS Toledo trailer shop. We were informed on Tuesday Feb 13, 2024 that our shop is being closed as of April 1st, 2024.

As for the trailers, alot of the ones that we at the shop have deamed ADA have been sold to metro and ctl, and are being leased back to UPS with very few if any needed repairs made. This is one of the ways they are working around this closing. So watch your pretrips closely.

They've been doing sneaky stuff for decades
They don't own a lot of the buildings some other shell corporation owns them

So sorry this is happening. Are the Teamsters doing anything or filing a complaint with the NLRB for this blatant union busting? Is there any opportunity to transfer anywhere else? If this is allowed to happen uncontested, ALL mechanics will be out of a job soon.

Just tired of hearing this. As soon as something doesn’t go someone’s way, call the NLRB. I get it, and I feel bad for anyone affected by the trailer shop closing.
