Makes me feel old to retire at 56 but with the way the pensions go I would not be surprised if it goes up to something like 62.

That is not all I think you have to do.
I'm simply stating that with technology that is available today, it would be easier to bust the union. It would have been impossible in '97.

Technology may have improved since 97 but the work ethic has definitely gotten worse. I doubt 10 percent of today's population could make it a week at UPS

I agree but, it doesn't matter.
Making more money than an idiot could ever imagine + technology + a scab mentality = more temptation for UPS than ever before to go for it.
If UPS was still private, they would probably go for it. Tears of public shareholders is why you'll get a contract.

If UPS honestly thought for 1 second that they could replace all of us... they would. They know they can't! Or at least they know it would take years, and cost an astronomical amount of money.

Trust me. They're thinking for more than 1 second.
But, the money they would make after a few years of losses would make up for it and then some.
Don't swell up and think you will never be replaced.
The country already hates your guts for the money you make and the benefits you have for"just driving around in a truck."

Ya but UPS doesn't think about the long term, and the shareholders would have no patience for that.
Most of the country is on the Teamsters side and UPS knows it would permanently lose shippers if they tried to replace us.

Loss of shipper revenue would be made up by scab money instead of paying you.
Like I said, you'll get a contract because of the tears of the shareholders. This time.

It sucks forever. How can you make loading/unloading trailers and open-door centers pleasant? The job in itself just sucks by nature.
My Center went there before I retired, it got where I was embarrassed by what happened to apperance standards. Half the drivers and management looked like they had just stolled in from a homeless camp. I never met Carol, although I have a friend that works around her some. I saw Abney and Askew, Abney is a tall man. One time during a PCM, I noticed a lot of strange suits hanging around a center manager's office. It turned out Askew visited us and he totally ignored drivers and our PCM.

It'll be the same next time too. Teamsters aren't going anywhere until we can all be replaced by AI at once. All management and corporate positions will be replaced by AI long before we are.

I'm for AI replacing all jobs and all we do is going fishing or golfing every day. Are we there yet?

You can't and that's why we are perpetually short handed and collectively irreplaceable

Check out the arse kissing wannabe wearing a suit because Big Carol was arriving. Her dressed the way she is, makes the brown noser look even more ridiculous.

I agree. This kind of job should be paid more than flipping burger!
