And I’d they use these 22.4 drivers so many punches then they HAVE to put in another ft top rate driver... if this means a little more flexibility for ups and more ft runs for us then I’d have to think hard about that, especially with them not being able to even get drivers from the pt ranks... many of these 22,4 drivers could be hired off the street... who knows???
We just need a president who isn’t so cozy with ups , that’s half the problem, they manipulate Hoffa and the local union presidents are now having to clean up the messes... that’s not how it is suppose to be...
And if you would have exchanged it for FedEx stock a decade ago, you would have a lot more than you have now. Yes it has a very nice dividend but the stock has went up in value a whole lot.
We don't use them either. We have seasonals for the summer and peak season, and that is it.
What about the rest of the year? Full time cover drivers?
You mean with part-timers progressing the same as FT guys?
Wasn’t fedex like 50 bucks only a couple years ago???
Some locals only use temps during Christmas... that is it...
They have gained market share
Sure did.
Slashing the dividend is a terrible idea.
Ups volume has grown during that time also so wth???
Are you still a stockholder or did @cheryl tell you to dump it all for that vacation house in Lake Tahoe????You said UPS should slash their dividend. How about all the hard working UPSers that own UPS stock? You want to cut their income?
Your exchanging stock idea is not well thought out either. UPS has paid a larger dividend than FedEx for many years, it isn't always about the stock appreciation.
Also, not sure why anyone would vote no for the authorization either. You are just giving away your leverage to bargain with UPS. Voting yes is a no brainer.
Ups is asking for a lower top rate on a new ground driver classification. And if they actually slashed the dividends and use that money to upgrade the company, they would be better off down the line. If too much of your income is dwpendepe on one stock, that is not a wise decision.You said UPS should slash their dividend. How about all the hard working UPSers that own UPS stock? You want to cut their income?

They have grown faster than us. Wall street future growth and earnings, that's what drives the prices up.
True on the stock front but ups has been making some huge investments in infrastructure.... you should see how many new kenworth and international tractors we have in my feeder group...and not all of this investment is in automation....jobs are associated with most of this... but I still see what you are saying though
