[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 3264429, member: 14596"] That is a well laid out counter argument. One flaw I would point out is that you cannot take the ratio of the drivers to the total workforce and use that ratio to divide the impact of a cost increase as the drivers are the highest paid segment of the workforce. So each of those 80,000 in your example are compensated, what at least 3 times as much as a part timer? (I know it's more than that, but for sake of argument) so the 80,000 would be more like 240,000 in there effect on overall costs. So your 2% would move to more like 6%. Potentially affordable, but still a significant cost increase for UPS and the company would be looking to see what it would be getting in return for such a concession. [/QUOTE]
