[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 780196, member: 4777"] I always keep hearing that ups drivers are the best in the industry, the hardest working, etc, but on the labor relation front drivers are harassed, fired, written up for absolutely ridiculous things...sometimes its a joke coming from one of the "most respected companies" in america...if OUR customers really knew what went on sometimes. This is nothing new, has been going on for years, just dont know why it is necessary 90% of the time. I understand ups is the employer, I have no problem with that, but when a sup goes out to observe a driver(something else I have no problem with) and cant find anything wrong with what they are doing except not grabbing a handrail and gets a warning letter over it....how is that anything less than a joke...there is a MAJOR divide at this company and it is getting larger and larger...dont seem to be that way at fedex, and no I dont need to quit to go over there either. Oh by the way, even if drivers were making 12 bucks an hour our trucks would be packed and routes would still be cut...GUARANTEED....ups would still make a huge profit working everyone til 6 and level out the routes or add routes if needed...right. You as a sales person should be pushing for more trucks to be run it does mean more reliability and better service. [/QUOTE]
