Starting Jan. 1st ALL drivers will be required to run at least TWO routes. No exceptions!!!!!!
Typical UPS. It comes out in the press first, then they send out a vague memo with "talking points," all the while the company just swirls with rumors. Of course they are trimming jobs. They need to save up money so they can pay even more to the union members in the next negotiation. I mean, why wouldnt a high school graduate be unhappy only making $27.00 an hour. Lets make it $30! Unbelievable.
You got it right. There have been some meetings in the Districts outlining some of the changes, but I have not heard specifics. Small package UPS will be affected.
Where did you read that about small package? I didn't read about this. I'm not worried really, our centre is ridiculously short staffed and we're continiously landing bigger and bigger accounts.You got it right.

Profits went down, not revenue. They still turned a profit. Why would you drop a profitable business unit? Rather than being a socialist and abandoning ship, they're trimming the fat. Also remember that SCS made some huge expansions (their massive campus in Mississagua comes to mind, the 3rd largest UPS facility worldwide) As a shareholder, I back the executive team 100%. Rather than focus on just getting boxes from A-B, UPS is being innovative and coming up with creative solutions that adapt to this changing global economy. But SCS is still kinda sketchy at this point, but I have my confidence in it.[evil]"Supply Chain had first-and third-quarter losses, and profit for the first nine months of 2006 tumbled to $3 million from $113 million a year earlier."[/evil]
Am I reading this right???
Profits at UPS-SCS dropped by $110 million in just one year? If that is the case, why hasn't UPS dropped SCS like a bad habit already?
The labour groups in the Soviet Union tried that with their factories after the Bolshevik revolution, and, uh, yeah....Less Chiefs and more indians...
Sorry tooner... but i bet you make more than i do by sitting on your ass filing grievences when your big mean manager actually touches a package. Waahh... union steward! As for whoever said "most drivers have degrees", if by that you mean they got a corespondence degree so they could get parolled from prison and get a job at UPS, i guess you got me. As for the name Audi, sorry ill be more like a driver and change it to "My new Ford Super Duty Diesel, boat, 4,000 s/friend house 2006" that work better for you? I want to fit it.
