UPS workers describe company reign of terror in wake of Teamsters sellout
What do you do? They all need this job. The union workers would play hell finding another that pays as well with benefits. The new tier obviously are having a hard time finding other jobs or they wouldn't still be there. It's not easy! I've been there. Lose a good paying job with benefits, it took me a decade to get a job paying as well with benefits.
You're trapped in never ending schooling to keep up or fall in a crack. If you're lucky or pick the right career, like I think I did, you might find one you can retire at. If you're old enough like me. I think trucking will be around long enough for me. But will my company? I unfortunately work for a person known to tear companies apart, Carl Icahn.
Once these unions start working against you it only get worse from the company. It's all down hill for the employees now.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I was wondering what would happend with that going on. I worked for UPS 15 years, and the Teamsters generally kept management in check. It was a constant battle, tug of war so to speak. I also had to give up my good paying with benefits job. Downsizing, outsourcing and providing less and less customer service.

They did us fair also. Or did they? I worked for a stove company in Delaware Ohio for 17 years. They shut our plant down in 96. Moved operations to Florence, South Carolina. Told us it would cost to much to train us to do the newer stoves coming out. That's back when these continuous cleaning stoves came out. If you know stoves that is so laughable. What cleans a stove? The coating on the oven parts means everything. Wires to certain elements does the rest. This factory open in 1879 as Sunray Stove. Also makers of Glenwood range. Our name changes went from those to Caloric and then Amana. We made about every type of kitchen range on the market there. Whirpool, Montgomery Ward, GE, and a couple others I can't think of now. Raytheon became our parent company at some point. We had a vast number of people coming to retirement age and a corporate greed to save money via lower paying employees that killed us. Down there a flat hourly rate was right in their eye sight.
