The Cuts Are Coming

[Just A UPS Guy]

Calm down. You might give yourself a bloody nose.

I'm not fired up, just pointing out that you clearly don't have a grasp on this, so you're just gonna on all of us, as usual.

Oh. I guess you are entitled to your opinion. I was just pointing out that a historic contract was negotiated. You are the one making some kind of big deal of it.

Is it a win if you take from some Teamsters to give to others?

A win as long as you are giving it to Central States

Uh oh. I'm sure glad I didn't say something like that!

We are, even though someone retiring from the central gets a bigger payout than some of the other plans.

You really think the contract has this influence? More than the (necessary) over-hiring during '20 '21 and '22 with the expected return to normalcy? This was going to happen regardless with the ebbtide of package flow. Carol didn't help, but it has very little, if anything, to do with our contract. Go on your brothers and sisters somewhere else.

Network optimization, low package volume, overstaffing, and increasing wages are all contributing factors.
In order to manage the surge in volume during the COVID phase, UPS expanded its workforce. We have been reworking our network to operate more effectively at the same time. We are lowering the head numbers while things get back to normal in an effort to preserve our profitability. This is essential since our workforce levels can no longer be supported by the volume. Furthermore, labor costs have gone up since COVID. Regarding the new contract, UPS agreed to a front-end loaded arrangement at a time when packages were declining. Even while it played a role, the new contract was not the only factor in the layoffs that occurred.

It didn't stop them from raising a dividend again though...

You're gonna pop a hamstring backpedaling that fast. No, you were connecting the job cut situation and the contract, quite clearly. Your schtick is tired, you have nothing to offer, and no intent to make your situation better. Be pissy with your situation all you want, but your mileage is running high on all the Teamster hating.

We sent a chunk up to NE also, don't forget. Making SOB more money on his pension too.

Whatever you say. My situation is fine. Not the one whining about work all the time on the internet. Now get in there and deliver those boxes!

Yes

 

[Wally]

Yes

So take from the Central if another fund needs it. Ok.

I'm sure it is.

You're not one of those grossly obese feeder drivers that chain smokes and wears a headset.

I definitely do not chain-smoke....

 

[textat3]

These folks making 1-10 million sitting around all day trying to figure out what 100k manager to nix….kind of like John Kerry flying all over the world in his private jet trying to solve “Climate Change”

Anymore...

 

[clean hairy]

How do you keep an ass in suspense?

Wear suspenders?
