It was left out because it didn't add to the point of the article! But yes you are correct! People move over to the competition, its not uncommon.

I totally agree brother... if ups was hurting I would be willing to look at different options but they are nowhere close to the poor house.... employees and customers first, then shareholders last...Sorry... I didn’t read the rest of the post. I’m just sothe members are like “ it’s ok”. I’m like WTF!

Think they finally had to get new buildings online and get new cars also... our whole fleet of tractors are almost all automatic new kenworths and internationals....I think it was just time to start buying things.... contract or not

I don't know. Would need to see some data. You would have to look at each individual industry etc.. My point was that it has been happening.

Sure they have, but they still haven't replaced our infrastructure, not even close.
Even when they do put their sprinters on the road, they only deliver all of their own envelopes and smalls, and leave the canoes to us.

They have some of our top talent. They will cherry pick our most profitable areas. And offer better services. By the time amazon reaches ups’ age. They will be the leader in pkg delivery.

He is in the West. We have transfer language that lets us transfer to anywhere that is covered by the western region supplement.
Nah, I have no connection to Amazon, other than I buy stuff there. Not worth the effort. I know a lot of UPSers. We have friends that are/were upsers. My dad was one. The big ape @tonyexpress was too

Signing up for a union gig and not being prepared to strike is like signing up for the Army and not being prepared to deploy. You knew what you were getting yourself into. After reading this thread I'm starting to hope we do strike. It'll get rid of some cowering weaklings, and it'll be the only way I'll get time off in August anytime in the next decade.
