excellent..

not a public sector job... they can do what they want.. I would have no problem with the issue ending up either way... the union works it out with UPS? okay fine... the company fires the workers? okay fine..

it irks me when they are public employees and can NOT be fired..

When I was on active duty in the army, it was next to impossible to fire a civilian employee.

You had to call them in, counsel them on their whatever. Then they got like six months to improve that. Then you had to call them in and tell them if they had not met the requirements, then give them another 3 months to improve. This goes on and on, but eventually, the military supervisor will change, THUS, all this goes away. They get a do over. If the new supervisor finally sees the screw ups, then it all starts over from the beginning. The old supervisor cannot pass along the process to the new one. The new super has to do the same as the old guy. This is how they always avoid getting fired. In over 20 years on AD, I never saw ONE civilian employee get canned for doing a bad job. I saw plenty of GI's get canned for doing bad jobs, but not those all mighty civilian employees. They were above it.
