It's sad but it seems the union is more interested in gaining more members than taking care of the ones it has. Judging by the comments from Hoffa, he is about to price UPS out of the package business. All the raises, pension increases, etc would be paid by the customer and if they can get their packages delivered less expensively, that's what they will do. With non-union carriers. UPS will survive as a much smaller company as a customs broker, bank, freight forwarder, logistics company, and an international carrier but the teamsters will vanish. As I have said before, the contract may be great but the jobs will gradually disappear. Where are the bricklayers? Lath and plasterers? Flight engineers? Railway brakemen? Plumbers?
Dockworkers? They all had great contracts but wound up with no jobs.
Hoffa wants "all the golden eggs" so what is left to buy new package cars? Aircraft? Operating rights? Computers? Lawyers to keep the company strong? Prospective shareholders to buy the stock? The company will NEVER agree to some of the things he is asking for. Say goodbye to many jobs.
