Hey guys, Just a little reality check, if UPS would not have bought OVNT we would probably all be looking for a job now. If not looking for a job we would have already lost our 4o1k match, bonuses, and anyother things they had supossedly given us in the last couple of years. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed working for big "O". But the competition being what it is today and with this economic enviroment, we better thank UPS everyday for buying us. In closing if a couple of guys are happy working on the non-union side fine, but we all have to remember all of us are working for the same common goal. That is to make UPSF the best LTL option for any shipper out there, because without happy shippers we will all fail. Have a great day, and be safe.
No you are totally wrong. I have been with this company over 26 years and through some really bad times. During some union strikes where Overnite made some mistakes and the or was way over a dollar. The CEO said he believed in the drivers and people of the company and still got a raise. Other companies would of had a pay cut. I have never missed a pay raise in 26 years. I believe we would still be in business and doing what ever it takes to stay afloat just like all the companies are doing now.
Yes these are perilous times I think we all can be thankful UPS owns us from the stand point they are one of the most solid companies. Overnite was a very good company and I am grateful and thankful to of worked and raised my family while being employed there.
