[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 3325327, member: 2193"] No innovation means no company. No company means no jobs. When UPS competitors change and adapt to current, and future, business conditions but UPS stays stagnant, that's the beginning of the end. Tough to collect dues when no one gets paid. This is equivalent to the Pony Express in the 19th century demanding that all deliveries be done by horse instead of by rail. How about all the telephone operators that lost their jobs plugging in wires when the phone system went computerized? Should those jobs have stayed in place? Unions have their place in the ecosystem, but why shoot themselves in the foot? It might be wiser to go with the flow of technology and appropriately unionize where the new jobs are as technology advances. Workers skills may have to change and job responsibilities may also have to change moving forward. Life changes and technologies advance. [/QUOTE]
