[QUOTE="10 point, post: 2127908, member: 52520"] Surepost is not a contract violation. The company made agreements with some shippers to mirror and stop the bleeding of volume to FedEx's Smartpost program. Are there abuses in the surepost system? Yes. We ( here) watch them daily for the pkgs that are depicted as violating the CBA and bring them back to be reprocessed for UPS drivers to deliver the next day. Proximity stops abuse????? That's on the IBT Pkg Division leadership. Yeah, we're still waiting on a definition of those. That's bull for sure. (Unless the local got clarification on them and didn't educate us on it.;)) Allow me to explain that overview in my singular observation: If I have ten tons of gravel to spread on my driveway and I only have a spade to do it with I'm sure as heck not going to put off because it looks like an insurmountable job and just give up and walk away. All of us on this forum have one shovel, one life, and one opportunity to spread what we believe and who we believe in for leadership. That is our right and responsibility. Period. I have many times wanted to say screw this and let someone else carry my load, do my homework, protect my rights. But after the smoke cleared and I ran out of pity party invitations I realized that it only took one Jonathan to start the butt kicking the Philistines got, one Kennedy to stare down the Cubans and Russians, and one Washington to march on Trenton when they were facing eminent destruction. The people on here are not weak. But giving up is cowardly and we want no part of that whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
