UPS on strike again? Jeez its time for a company wide firing. To me its simple, once you become a cornerstone of our national economy, there should only be "at-will" employment.

Every time these fools do this, they lose 5% market share to FEDEX, who by the way, does NOT wimp out on their overnight guarantee. Go ahead, strike, you jerks. Compared to FEDEX, you suck.

I hope that DHL takes this opportunity to shake up the non-postal package delivery business to heart. I worked at a quick-copy shop that offered package delivery during the last UPS strike. People were NOT happy when they learned their only other option was FedEx, which was much more expensive at the time.

Haven't airlines been having layoffs over the last couple of years?
I doubt UPS is going to have any trouble finding some non-union replacement pilots.

Promise them anything they want, and in the years to come the pilots will see, just as the airline industry sees, that you don't get something for nothing. If they want pie-in-the-sky-thinking, let's accommodate because it means nothing in outlying years.

My company's used FedEx for the last five years, and I have no real complaints. As a matter of fact, they've been quite reliable. Screw UPS.

UPS advertising scam:
"We deliver more on-time packages than anyone else."
True, as far as it goes, but UPS also delivers more late packages than anyone else.
Because UPS is weighted toward ground transport, their per-day package volumes are still considerably higher than FedEx (which is the volume leader in the overnight business).
In on-time %, FedEx is way ahead of UPS.

Fire the lot of them and start over. In a week they would be whining for their jobs back.

The United Package Stompers can go to he77.
They only deliver post-it notes telling you where to go to pick up your package, which has more times than not in my cases been damaged beyond repair.
And they want more money? Show them the door.
