UPS Freight Teamsters hold all the cards right now, yet emotion will guide many of them. Think, don’t overreact!
You could not be more wrong with that statement,they have coyote, logistics will keep on, just handled differentlyIf they close UPS Freight they’ll be the laughing stock of the logistics industry!
As well as the many non union carriers out there. They are really taking a calculated risk but the one thing saving them is their bundling discount for using freight.UPS is now helping YRC and ABF indirectly.
All due respect, but why would you come on here & start a thread if you have no skin in the game? The people that work at UPSF know what’s best for them because they work there....Just offering a reality check before UPS washes their hands on Freight & dumps that division.
They are a very smart company,they won't hold on to a money drain,
They could easily contract any heavy freight & break up the rest into small pack.
You are delusional.If they close UPS Freight they’ll be the laughing stock of the logistics industry!
It will be viewed as a failure and huge stain on David Abney’s resume in an otherwise illustrious career!You are delusional.
It will barely register in the logistics world.
It will be a 2 page article in a few trucking rags for the next couple months. At best.
This is just a huge scare tactic that will probably work in conjuction with the fact that most people will not drive to their union Hall to vote. We won’t have the percentage numbers to fully vote it down and Teamsters will than claim we are ratified. Just like they did with small pack.
There is NO WAY they are going to dump freight division. Their portfolio of services does not allow them to have a missing link for customers to chose from. Especially when rival FedEx offers it. The Freight/ LTL division/ Supply chain is a big part of their success.
Right now UPS is cleaning the system out in the event a strike happens. They don’t want to burn bridges with customers, and have freight sitting stagnant in the system.
Sales force have been calling customers all day allowing them to divert their freight to other carriers for now. That’s integrity and transparency on their part. Again, they don’t want to burn the bridges. It’s a strategic move to keep customers by being honest.
Starting 11-1-18, UPS will pick up 5 day points, 11-2-18 will be 4 day points, 11-3-18 will be 3 day points etc.
I’m sure we will lose customers in the event of a strike or no strike . It’s going to take a lot to gain their trust and have them ship with us.
In the event that we are Ratified and the fact that UPS purged the system, it will be pretty slow.
I still say “vote no” on this last best final bread crumb of a crap deal. There is room for more negotiations and there are money reserves even though they claim not. (Poker game)
I feel we will cave in like the last time and it will be advantage UPS.
There isn't a statement in the English language that would accurately convey how absurd that is.Fed EX frt has said they will not pick up any UPSFRT shipments.
How will FXF know what was UPSF?Fed EX frt has said they will not pick up any UPSFRT shipments.
There isn't a statement in the English language that would accurately convey how absurd that is.
My old barn had a pre shift meeting, that's sole reason was to inform drivers about the current potential for getting additional pickups specifically because of UPS's failure.
But do keep living in the world of perpetual Birthday Parties, and Ice cream with sprinkles.
Ups is just days from making it's biggest blunder in almost 15yrs,and if you think for a moment, that their #1 competitor isn't foaming at the mouth on ways to capitalize on it, then pass whatever you're smoking, because what I got ain't nearly as strong.
FedEx doesn’t need or want freight from UPS freight. We’re at capacity as it is so stop stoking the fire. You don’t even work at FedEx anymore. That being said, UPSF isn’t going on strike... the top dogs are bluffing
UPS Coyote, UPS Cartage and UPS Truck Load is on standby.They need Freight division to compete with Fedex some companies want to ship their freight and packages with the same company same Account Executive one phone call! Call their bluff VOTE NO it's not shutting down no way.
No doubt about it!Just offering a reality check before UPS washes their hands on Freight & dumps that division.
They are a very smart company,they won't hold on to a money drain,
They could easily contract any heavy freight & break up the rest into small pack.
I sit listen to all you people whine about how bad you have it.No doubt about it!
Excuse me you devil worshipping, illuminati. Your ABF, go back to your den of iniquity. UPS Freight gets top wages and benefits, not to mention their single employer pension fund has real money in it. Not promises based on unrealistic actuarial assumptions.All due respect, but why would you come on here & start a thread if you have no skin in the game? The people that work at UPSF know what’s best for them because they work there....
Yeah, and it’s only the old timers that get the option to stay in the more lucrative pension formula. VOTE NO!Excuse me you devil worshipping, illuminati. Your ABF, go back to your den of iniquity. UPS Freight gets top wages and benefits, not to mention their single employer pension fund has real money in it. Not promises based on unrealistic actuarial assumptions.
