Do you really think we can force UPS to do anything? Of coarse there are ways to eliminate or mitigate a furlough by increasing flying. UPS could also offer a better incentive to get guys to retire. They don't have to do any of it. What we have is the MOU, UPS put the ball in our court and made it a win win for them. Either they save money without furloughing or they furlough because some of us can't bother to do anything.
