[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1609417, member: 198"] That would be an unwise bluff on UPS's part. Like I told Upstate....we've heard that before about EDD. It never happened. UPS, despite what they tell the stock holders, knows ORION doesn't work. Therefore...they know that handing a bunch of new drivers a DIAD and setting them loose with ORION and EDD would be an epic disaster. Even if that disaster were short lived UPS would suffer long term. If customers think service is failing now they are in for a huge awakening should UPS actually use ORION/EDD as a bluff and somehow end up replacing all of us. The average Joe would likely do this job for much less per hour but not under the extreme pressure UPS would put on a non-unionized workforce. Many of our current drivers practically crack under the pressure of management's metrics and harassment. Imagine a bunch of new drivers working for a UPS that doesn't have a union to quell their harassment. The turnover in package would rival the part-time hub work. Even at $10 less per hour the rapidly declining service would would kill UPS. FedEx will grow even faster. UPS will shrink to mediocrity. [/QUOTE]
