[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 5534170, member: 12508"] Why doesn't UPS introduce the all-new UPS Tan? This is an all independent contractor model where Big Brown can decide to give Tan whatever it wants....NDA, Traditional Brown Ground or any other service they please. There should be no problems with implementation because their direct competitor is doing the exact same thing. Oh, and UPS Airlines will now be considered separately as an all-RLA carrier along with all of their "airline" employees. Using Dano's own line of reasoning, how many more jets does UPS have compared to 10 years ago,and how many more packages move by air? The Tan trucks will look identical to regular UPS feeders and package cars and the uniforms will also be the same. UPS will try out the Tan model in Alaska and Hawaii and in select mainland states immediately. Tan employees work for the Tan contractors, not UPS, and will be paid "market level" wages and will have no benefits whatsoever. The Tan contractors and employees will need to abide by strict UPS rules and protocols and the UPS Corporation will have essentially total control over the contracts. UPS can freely choose however and whomever it wants to use in order to move it's packages, but plans to keep both a UPS Tan management team and a UPS Brown management team in order to leverage the network for maximum profitability. UPS expects no legislative or Teamsters union issues concerning the implementation of UPS Tan given its extensive political connections, strong lobbying presence in Washington DC, and the legal precedent set by its direct competitor and fellow systems integrator, FDX Corp.
