[QUOTE="anonymous23456, post: 5638283, member: 104188"] I think the best thing is for USPS buying out UPS. Per internet: It’s a well known fact that UPS maintains most of its workforce as “part-timers”. I agree with other posters that it’s hard to make it to ‘regular’(or full-time) and UPS runs their people ragged. I’ve met many former UPS workers describe the atmosphere as boot camp non-stop. If FEDEX is truly non-union, then I can see how working there is never considered a permanent position. As part of my job I see a Fedex tractor trailer driver everyday, but I’ve never heard him once complain about the company he works for. USPS may indeed provide more paid holidays and better starting pay, but the path to ‘regular ‘ gets longer and longer. I do believe they are attempting to mimick UPS model. Also the length of time to ‘max-out’ at the highest pay level gets longer as well. [/QUOTE]
