Exactly. I say we call a strike. All of us employed or none of us!
Go Union! UNTIE!

I'm not worried about the scare mongering bud, but don't think UPS is going to touch their stacks of cash. Most of their property that they own isn't worth what it was 2 years ago. That lowers their bottom line, so they will conserve cash. We answer to the share holders these days, so nothing UPS does has anything to do with what's right for the employees and customers, but is more in line with "how can we make our shareholders love us again?"
I'm sure you meant unite. But if you did mean untie, that's friggen hilarious!
As I understand it, they can't hire seasonal inside employees anymore. If they hire them, they keep them. They'll just have a colossal layoff in January. Of course your rider and addendum's may vary.

Whats going to happen is that there will be some layoffs and then things will pick back up and ups will be caught with their pants down and start freaking out because there arent enough employees to keep up with the workload. This seems to happen often and since they are "talking" drastic measures, some of those on layoff probably wont return, meaning after things pick up they will be scrambling. People, please think logically here, things will pick up, its just a matter of time. If you look at ups as a whole against how some companies are doing, ups is doing well considering the issues the economy is facing. Typical ups, going overboard. Im not saying things arent bad, or that things will be automatically back to normal, but with dhl leaving, and having sales dept hitting competitions national accounts, I think things will be ok...have faith.

I talked to fed x driver on my route. HE said they do have a no lay off policy . fedx gives them 90 days to find another postion in company and that includs transfering to any other state if they want to move.
thats a damn good policy... thats the way that the 'old' dhl used to be, but hey at least im not there anymore... ( Woo Hoo) ... all you had to do was check the job postings for anywhere you wanted to go and interview and if you were accepted, that was it, youre in!
I know this is speculation but our son is a PT at the local UPS here and loves the job. He has about 10-12 other people that have less seniority than he does .
What is the speculation on his situation, he would love to and wants to make a career of UPS..
He has been employed for 1 1/2 yrs

My personal opinion is that he will be fine. Every location is different, but like has been said on here before, turnover among part timers is fast enough that all they need to do is stop hiring and they will lower their head count pretty quick. Here in central Ohio we still see new hires touring the building every week.
Good luck to your son.

Wah
What wasn`t mentioned is after 90 days if they haven`t found another position or a place to transfer to they toss you out on your ass.
What is the saying, the dumbest question is the one that is not asked.
sorry, couldn't resist
No he is NEVER OUT, just a curious and worried parent in today's economy.

It looks like you are new to the site. Welcome to the Brown Cafe!
There is a lot of good info related to UPS on this site.
Depending on where your son works will depend on what happens in the future. Pick up driven areas will be affected the least. UPS makes money from the pick up of packages not the delivery of same. There may be some consolidation in delivery driven areas but my experience is that UPS is a relatively recession proof job or career.
