Will UPS ever offer driver buyout?

[trickpony1]

There's a new dog in the race and its stock is worth 18x UPS stock.

Anyone we know?

How long have you worked here? Or do you even work here?

No need to worry about DHL

They give money to new hires as a weekly show up bonus, which is not in the contract.
Why would they not be able to give long time employees a buy out?
Fewer weeks of vacation, less $ per hour, etc.

Only in a RTW state would that be even remotely possible.

I think the OT will be the first thing targeted. It may likely be straight 40's. Which a lot of employees wouldn't mind so much honestly.

So this is another "Amazon is putting UPS out of business " thread?

Lol yep that's what will happen. UPS will hire more drivers/trucks/preloaders/mechanics so that we only work 40 hours a week.

Thank god you're not our CEO. The union would be doomed.

I’d take straight 40s every week for the rest of my career if I’m being honest lol.

If Amazon and it's delivery contractors decide they need to increase their density in order to be sustainable, and find themselves in the position to underbid many of our contracts, why wouldn't they? The answer is: They would. And they will.

First its UPS buyouts. Then its decertification. Now it's being under bid by Amazon.

You're a troll.

Someone explain how it's NOT realistic to think Amazon could offer the same service for a lower price. We're not untouchable.

Amazon is actually notorious for this. It’s what they do and they get away with it because Amazon cuts costs so much and from what I hear Amazon also gets huge tax cuts that other businesses just can’t compete with

You never answered my question


They don't have the capacity to deliver their own stuff

UPS should drop them like FedEx did and watch them sink.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Although I do believe Ups needs to follow Fedex and drop amazon ASAP and let them crash and burn.

I would agree, currently. But at the rate Amazon is building infrastructure, we're talking 5-10 years. I keep saying 5-10 years.

 

[olroadbeech]

They already bought me out. offered 3500 a month for the rest of my life and i took it.

Times are changing and the Union wages aren't sustainable.

But the CEO salary and stock dividends are? Go suck a sack.

Are you going to answer my original question?

Do you know any of the history about UPS?

They survived a couple of world wars
The great depression and the great recession.

Countless numbers of competitors

Sometimes they dropped the ball but they still find their way.
