UPS mulls same-day service – but may not use its own drivers - The Loadstar

UPS is considering a same-day parcel service in its home market.

Management sees a new opportunity, but there are obstacles: one critical question is whether the service should be by unionised UPS drivers or subcontractors.

At a recent investors’ day, UPS revealed it was examining the viability of same-day parcel services.

CEO Carol Tomé said the integrator had been doing pilot studies and added: “We have a team of people looking at it.”

It's a union job so it should be Union drivers.

A major question is who would be performing the deliveries. Ms Tomé said the company could go outside its own driver pool for this.

I'm sure if this is put into place, most of us will be a part of the same day process.
Probably similar to on call pickups.

I'm not buying that for one second buddy.

Adding a popular service that will be done exclusively by scabs is strike worthy IMO.
