UPS Plans to Cut Non-Driver Jobs to Mitigate Union Labor Costs

[Zowert]

Should a delivery driver make $45/hr?

If you can take a truck with 200+ pieces on it for 150 different addresses, empty it and return that a truck full of pick up volume 10 hours later, then I say yes.

PAL system to eliminate misloads, RFID to eliminate misloads from the PAL system, ORION etc. Yeah technology is great. But no substitute for an experienced and trained human.

170k is a great incentive though.

 

[Over70irregs]

I get it
But should somebody working at McDonald's should make $25 an hour?

They will. Not a should. $ has to be printed or we default. We are beyond paying out debt.

 

[Over70irregs]

Yep cutting the full timers and giving the part-timers a bonus lol. It’s pretty clear Carol does not care about morale in the management ranks.

Lol. They eat their own. Especially those with moral compass.

That's why it's cost you $12 for a big Mac combo meal

$14 he biggie sized it.

so you know what ORION's real issue is? it requires excellent map and parameter maintenance by your PDS

it can't work properly without it, and IE has zero control over what your PDS does or doesn't do

So they spent billions to create a program that requires ridiculous oversight to function properly knowing full well that the oversight would not occur? Genius!

That is called job security

Its a big freaking joke

IE can and will be outsourced soon. Maybe Amazon is hiring

the IE dept basically runs 99% of amazon, so okay?

 

[Ou812fu]

better than a human, don't dodge that your point was wrong

Don't misrepresent what you are actually saying. Perfect means perfect.

this is NOT what PAS was created for, it's also NOT automation

RFID DOES reduce misloads over basic PAS; this also, is NOT automation

yet again, this is NOT an example of automation, but it absolutely does increase SPORH +2-3 even adjusting for all downsides that's why UPS hasn't dropped it

please, just stick to parking the cars dude, you really have no clue what you're talking about

I noticed right before the rfid was implemented that the misload went through the roof for about three months.
Making sure the misload go up before you implement a technology. Does not prove that the technology actually reduces misloads.

misloads are cyclical, have been for decades

and yet, it still turns a profit

I highly doubt it's even paid for itself.

Well maybe they're hiring

 

[burrheadd]

automation

why would I have a sup or an hourly sort work that a machine can do perfectly?

Somebody’s gotta watch the machine

You must be insinuating the company still profits every quarter because no chance Orion has made more than it cost with most veteran drivers ignoring it completely.

Just because you say it doesn't make it true. At least 95% of reports at UPS are fudged in some way. You should know that by now. They throw out a bogus number like that to keep the shareholders happy. If they had to run a route with the solution changing 50 times and wanting you to get to pickups 2 hours early, they would understand the joke it is and that the numbers
are lies.

it has, that's why it has "turned a profit"

We are told to not blindly follow ORION but to use are common sense.
