Ups lay offs.

[Redtag]

Why is there so much talk of ups laying off drivers and part timers. ? Is fedex taking over the delivery business and ups is going to shut down? Asking because I was planning on making a career out of ups. Serious question

Amazon took 80 percent of our volume so UPS is laying off 73.46 percent of union workers after the new year ..

You should just not even bother coming in Wednesday.. just fill out a Amazon app now. That's what I did, starting as a airplane mechanic next week. 12 a hour and no experience working on planes but it's ok working on UPS trucks truck is close enough.

And how is that any different from driving in Minnesota and crossing over into Ontario?

That people actually want to cross the border.

Yes, Fedex is taking over and UPS is shutting down 12/31. Guess you'll need to find a new career. Seriously?

That was a serious question I wasn’t trying to be ridiculous.

Whatever attrition that is needed to reduce our workforce has always happened in seniority order. If you worked here for a few months, you get to work here forever.

Getting pushed down to part-time work however, is a possibility.

Good luck with that.

The Teamsters couldn't organize Fedex, hell the Teamsters have a hard enough time enforcing our contract.

I agree. We already have drivers who treat working at UPS like a charity... skipping lunches and breaks and sorting their trucks before being on the clock.

Kudos to the ones that can get FT b4 the new contract is enforced. UPS is going to see a hugh profit if they abuse the class of drivers like I know they will.

Same with the units, but there is generally no "hard border" (for now) to reset your mind, just a sign in the weeds, then the street signs suddenly have Gaelic on them.

This is true, we can usually "attrit" 10% in 6-12 months in a metro area just by pausing the hiring.

Might be a little different with the Walmart guy around, so this should be interesting.
