[QUOTE="DriverNerd, post: 5405540, member: 61439"] Everyone at UPS is replaceable, but replacing hundreds of thousands at once with this low unemployment would be (I would think) impossible. And replacing UPS drivers with contractors is doable, but not with how full the trucks are now. Fedex can do it, but have you seen how empty their trucks are? They'd never get people to work for their wages if they went out for 12 hour days in bricked out trucks. I can't see AC being a real issue unless it was a focus in southern supplements. 22.4's aren't needed and can easily be eliminated. They don't work inside anyway and the contracts can be rewritten to have the lowest seniority drivers moved to T-Sa schedules instead. I can see a bigger raise amount for part timers being instituted, but they're not getting $10 raises. [/QUOTE]
