UPS announces 12,000 job cuts, says package volume slipped last quarter

[HarryWarden]

What they are really worried about is that they will have to go out and find a better job, or any job...

The days of a "ONE PAYCHECK HOUSEHOLD" has been dead for a long time...

And it directly coincided with lower union participation, higher ceo and corporate pay and lower taxes

Who could have seen that coming? Massive pay increases in a faltering economy. All the covers and most of the 22.4s are laid off in my building. Drivers are getting heavy handed punishments in an attempt to get rid of them. Routes are being permanently cut or switched to Saturdays. I called this last summer. The people getting the biggest pay increases would be the first on the chopping block.

Most of the 22.4's? yeah I'm gonna call bs. Anyone who was a 22.4 before the ratification of contract is still working at my building. And I'm in a big building. We have reg temps that were basically seasonal that are laid off working pre-load.

And people trying to get paid their daily guarantee when they call in sick for work!

They were going to lay off people regardless if we got raises or not. They probably had this number planned before negotiations

The warning letters that are being given out are hysterical. Failure to follow the methods by pulling in driver's side mirror, failure to shout UPS at every stop etc. Stuff that management slept on for years is suddenly a mortal sin.

Flavor of the month! They’ve always done this.

…it’s called a sick day

Unless you’re talking about the Covid thread, than you need to learn how to read, because the topic was the exact opposite of what you’re saying

It all depends on where you live.

Carol said 12,000 jobs world wide. It's all corporate and management positions. They're all likely positions needing to be replaced by AI anyway.

You could be replaced and we wouldn't notice it

The entire IE department could be replaced and we wouldn't know it either

The entire executive VPs and Carol can be missing for the whole year and UPS still works like a well-oiled machine. You wonder if they add any value.

My center rarely goes to any length to prevent drivers from going over 9.5. Cutting those checks weekly is nothing to them. As long as the have the least amount of routes in they’re golden.

Just pitty pat downhill roll. Just smile every Friday while ride-a-long boy sweats.

Sups still handling packages on preload or outbound sorts? The union should put the kibosh on that instantly.

How many grievances have you filed for sups working?

Let them wear their back out. I’ll just stand there and cash checks.

22.4's are still a thing?

How much volume did we loose to fedex/usps when brown wanted to wait until the last day to settle the contract???

Approximately 1 million package per day in the US. It did not come back.

 

[Coldworld]

Maybe waiting for the last moment was in their game plan all along..I won’t put it pass them.

I wouldn’t be sure about that…I just think they thought customers would stick around …unfortunately they are tired of browns …can’t say I blame them.
