UPS International President Scott Price Says Yes to Outside Service Providers

[ThePackageDeli]

UPS international president Scott Price says his job is focused around the reset of our strategy, and the implementation of an asset-light model which in his own words means using outside service providers (OSP's) for final mile delivery. He says this model is already being used with UPS outside the United States...
What could this mean for the future of UPS package car drivers in the US?

Then the union will have to organize them

 

[Integrity]

Not saying they will win but I believe our Local Teamster Officials will fight this type of Subcontracting, again.

Then the union will have to organize them

More than likely they will be Union-free.
There’s 100+ scenarios that could be put forth that do not include Union representation.
All those deadbeats that don’t want to work will be driving packages and other things around.
It’s a good time to start a last mile business…
Many companies have embraced “asset light”. UPS is, as usual, decades behind.

UPS is always behind. They’re reactive not proactive. Seldom innovate.

1’s ans 0’s move faster that teamster contracts.

More automation is coming

 

[ManInBrown]

UPS can do as they please as long as the powers to be at the Teamsters get paid off. I never used to think that. Last contract when UPS said we’ll go back to the negotiating table and Hoffa said, nah that’s OK. Pretty clear how this works now. Too much money involved. Pay off the right people and anything is possible.

 

[YourMissingCallTag]

The 2023 contract negotiations are going to be ugly for the rank and file. I hope we’re not going to get boned too hard..

 

[quad decade guy]

More automation is coming

Ok. Where?

Say, Are you retired? If so.....why are you here?

Our building is as automated as its going to get....unless some AI breakthrough is here.....it is not.

AI deliveries?....in our lifetime.......certainly not in our careers.

yea, no. considering the little PR spot UPS got because they are weathering the additional volume "just fine" with their unionized workforce while dissing FedEx Ground contractor ops.....

Just wait until this Christmas when we melt down, then you'll see scott change course and praise UPSs asset-heavy model.

I think you are oversimplifying how it really works.

Is correct about the union not backing us up for our current contract

Read between the lines.. Scott is in control of the (International Department)...they are not unionized except for Canada and even with that I have my doubts. “Asset light” is another catch phrase for another (Transformation) for our management people.

It is just ( Corporate Happy Talk )...

No, that's Scott's plagiarized tag line. Everyone at that level has something they try to be known for.

Don't you think "Asset Light" and "Better not Bigger" are in harmony?

Here's mine: "Efficiently Balanced"....LOL

Everyone that's actually doing the work knows that to be untrue, but they like to hear their Execs and Proteges say crap like that (with a straight face)...

The 804 will have new headlines for its website when it defeats last mile subcontracting like it did PVD's.
