[QUOTE="ezralive, post: 57460"] Labor is the single largest variable cost in the UPS business model so the 300% annual turnover amongst part-timers is part of the strategic plan. The teamsters are bought off -via- the contributions to the Teamster health, welfare, and pension fund made by UPS on the behalf of the part-timers (who rarely survive long enough to collect a dime of that money.) In effect, the part-timers are nothing more than expendable slaves on the UPS plantation who are subsidizing the Teamsters financial mismanagement and generating huge cost savings for UPS management (2-3 billion per year in net profits.) As for the drivers, UPS wants to burn them out so they can be replaced by younger drivers who are healthy, naive, and clueless. For every senior driver who is suffering from burn out, UPS has six crazy young bucks drooling at the thought of replacing them (running scratch as cover drivers to prove it.) As a manager, I knew exactly how to spot burn out in an employee and give them just enough used rope to hand themselves with. It never ceased to amaze me how their union brothers would grin while i was devouring one of their own. I was a wolf prowling and growling the plantation looking for stragglers. They never loved me, but they feared me because fear is a powerful tool. The irony is that I developed more positive techniques which got me into trouble with management. That's why I took my million dollar investment portfolio and got out. You can survive the plantation, but you gotta be smart and be loyal to your union brothers.... [/QUOTE]
