[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1294872, member: 4653"] What you say is very logical and makes a lot of sense. I would tend to agree with you except for one thing: have you seen some of these people UPS brings in off the street? If these people are the labor pool for the next generation of drivers after a strike, the company is in trouble. I understand the job is not brain surgery and potentially somebody with an IQ of 80 could do it, but many people can't or won't. The company has stuffed these routes with so much work that it really does take a seasoned professional to pull a route. Just look at how they baby the casual drivers at peak. The give them 6 hours of work on a route with only a couple streets and then the manager prays they will clean in under 10 without an accident or injury. Taking this into account it would be very difficult to replace 60 drivers in one center on a weeks notice. I'm not saying it can't be done and UPS isn't planning for it, but I am saying it will be a VERY VERY difficult time for the company and customer service reps. [/QUOTE]
