Pretty clear at this point UPS is going to let this strike happen

[ManInBrown]

Hope I’m wrong but I don’t think so. Losing business every day to competitors, if they weren’t willing to let it happen they would’ve came back to the table. IMO O’Brien overplayed his hand. I feel bad for anyone with less than 5 years company time. See everyone out on the picket line.

 

[Whatthewhat]

I agree.. the company wants to be “better not bigger” they will allow the strike to happen and then hand pick the most profitable volume and dump the trash. Bad part is more lay offs will result from it.

Oh boy…. How about some patience? When i was with the steel workers in 2010 they came through last min with an agreement. We were all ready to shut down the equipment and walk. Since i left in 2014 the factory has changed names twice.

Patience?

We’ve already had 10% of our employees laid off. Lost 25% of our volume, some of which will never come back. Meaning some of these laid off employees will not be back.

The stock is not dropping yet, so Carol doesn’t care about the lost jobs and volume.

I guess SOB doesn’t care either or they would not wait for this mythical TA to supposedly come on July 31.

You would think he would try to come to a deal now to stop the hemorrhaging of jobs and volume.

It's chess for both sides.

Lose a few pawns, save the King....

We don't have any delivery drives laid of and are working PT and FT air drivers most days delivering ground volume.

Yep. And that is fine if you’re the king. But, if you’re one of the pawns, you’re out of a job.

In chess, each side can only lose 8 pawns. This is real life. Maybe 8,000?

Palatine just lost 50,000 pieces a day. The layoffs will begin shortly.

I’m sure it will be coming to your neck of the woods shortly.

Like I said in another thread, maybe they want to see if all the money they spent on technology is going to pay off.

There is a rather large ups hub in Palatine Illinois

Ironic.

SOB fighting for a better wage for PTers and they’re the ones, or at least the bottom 20%, are going to be the ones to pay the price.

If we go on strike they might certainly will
