Oldfr8 got the drift. Everything is a tradeoff for something and the bean counters didn't just add it in. It got costed out and considered, just like the $150/yr that FedEx reimburses for any uniform items (including shoes and socks, etc).

And, I beleive, that the company will save major $$ on the whole "deal", increasing overall revenues.. If only the 68%ers would shoot themselves in the other foot, we might have to replace them with some critical/analytical thinkers who are not coerced by "proponents of hysteria" red letter authors within our own union "leadership"!
It will be interesting if only less than 30% come back stateside.
Time will tell and it should make ofr interesting side bets and Odds paid..

I'm not bitter at all. UPS is a great place to work but Nirvanna doesn't exist. I wouldn't trade places with anyone in this industry. A problem with this medium is that tones can be misconstued. I feel very blessed to be wearing brown/black/whatever it is. My only point is that there's no such thing as "free" anything and there's room for improvement in our contract. Glass half empty?!? That hurts!

What a ceap skate. When I was an IOE instructor for 727 engineer new hires I would give them a maglight. People still thank me <G>, That was when you would get 700 a month fla rate and never having more than two students a month it didn't sem too bad.
