[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 268121, member: 12570"] Remote delivery made sense, especially in my center, which has many rural communities; however, it became a dispatching tool and quickly lost its effectiveness. Supervisors would take packages for an entire town off of the pkg car and combine them with deliveries for that town for the following day. The problem with that was, had the pkgs stayed on the car, the driver was often able to "get rid of" them through alternate delivery, either at their place of employment or a central point (convenience store) in a neighboring town. I much prefer remote delivery to the new basic service, where I often drive by the delivery stop to deliver a UPS pkg to the Post Office so that they can deliver it [U]the following day[/U] to the stop that I just drove by. As far as going public, we had several drivers in my center who became millionaires overnight when they converted the money in their thrift plans into UPS stock when the bought shares at $20 on the day of the IPO and watched them explode to $50 the next day. The infusion of capital has helped the company grow, especially in technology. The strike was indeed unfortunate but, to be fair, I think that the Union, especially the President at the time, did not have the best interests of the membership in mind. I think that both the Union and UPS have learned a great deal since that time and I applaud the work done to ensure we have a contract long before the expiration of the current pact. While it may not be the best contract, it is a strong agreement which provides security and stability, which are vital in light of our current economic turndown. [/QUOTE]
