[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 5120200, member: 198"] That article proves that we can keep drivers easier than the competition. But that doesn’t help us keep shippers that are more than willing to sacrifice a 6% decrease in on-time deliveries of mostly consumables and impulse purchases that most customers don’t even track. The pandemic, much like the recession did, forced allot of companies to look for cost cutting measures. One of the first things they always look at is shipping. We’ve lost allot of volume to FedEx and the USPS and the resi volume is falling like a ton of bricks and won’t stop anytime soon. Not with FedEx being able to undercut is more than ever and Amazon soaking up a dangerous, borderline antitrust violation, amount of retail market share. Fighting for what we deserve is justified but demanding more while our employer is on a definite decline is cutting our own throats. I’d rather slow down increases in our wages and benefits, both of which are already superior to that of the majority of Americans in labor jobs, than contribute to the decline by making us less competitive. These record profits don’t mean a thing for our pensions if the company keeps shrinking and less people are contributing to the pot. Eventually those pension plans will have more people taking than contributing. [/QUOTE]
