In our center you’d think these newly promoted drivers were first round NBA picks when the get to FT. They come to work with a whole new swagger. Lol. It’s just a very well paying driving job.

Do you have any examples? Nice that you can drink the union cool aid. And you think that you what others do.
You once had a driver in your local complaining that he had to pu/del heavy industrial packages to loading docks. Bob, the sec treasure at the time, used to Use him as an example during the strike. Kind of a, don’t be this guy with unrealistic expectations.
How about this, on Monday, you come and do my route and I’ll go and do your route. Let’s see who sucks up to management.

okay now sunday AIR i could see, since i mean
if people want to pay $150/piece for it we’d be crazy to turn it downsunday ground, unless our shippers threaten us again, don’t hold your breath
Unfortunately it's a different world. Maybe they need to bring the Blue laws backokay now sunday AIR i could see, since i mean
sunday ground, unless our shippers threaten us again, don’t hold your breath

kinda yeah but people’s shipping behavior just hasn’t changed enough to justify a serious sunday package op
hubs have a lot of expansion opportunity for sunday, and air is always a possibility i guess, but people like to ship and order when they want not when we want
It makes perfect sense to have a 7 day a week operation, if it's profitable.
The fixed costs on the buildings and the package cars ate the same no matter how many days we operate.

it’s not profitable is what i’m telling you
UPS obviously just wants the flexibility if shipper behavior ever shifts, but it’s not anytime soon
We need to be a leader instead of a follower
UPS has always been good with trying to keep a production number but always last when it comes to a new service.
You can't keep all of your money in the money market, sometimes you got to put it into the stock market
This place is unbelievable sometimes
They pay all of that money into benefits and ask people to take a dead day
Find a way to even out some of the volume and use what you are paying for.

I never said less pay once. I said we cant keep getting raises and expect to also get free healthcare. You seem to think we deserve 60 an hour and free healthcare. Were not curing cancer jackass. Go help that guy that needs help and tell your wife you worked really hard today. Id bet your that guy that whines about everything and how hard it is. No one makes you work here, you make 80k plus a year in a labor and mentally stressful job that only requires you show up everyday and do the job how they want. Want more time at home? Quit. Sick of a bricked out package car? Slow down.
Well...we could do many things to change that. Divert some Surepost on select days, drop the guaranteed transit times on some packages
We have a lot of resources that ate sitting on the sidelines because of some stupid metric number

Get rid of Thursday night football while your at it. I love these social engineer's on here who think they can calculate someone else's value. How did Obama care work out. I thought so. If it's wrong to say how much a doctor should get paid then it's wrong to say how much a driver should get paid. Each has it's own sacrifices.

doing those things would be cutting into services that customers want to give them service they don’t want
dude trust me whatever UPS may screw up in implementing things, this research has been beaten to death by genuinely smart people and it’s a no-go
You ate completely wrong. They always let's someone else try things out first, then when they see it has potential they jump in.
FedEx would have never got off of the ground if we staryst that service first.
We need new people with fresh ideas.
