FWIW (next to nothing?) heard that from a manager as well.

Can you still say "retarded?" I thought it was the R-word now.

Yes they are retarded. That is why I have stopped giving them credit for "doing this for 100 years." These guys aren't that smart. I think they go out of their way to ignore smart people that work at UPS. BT mentioned it at the SDF GMM.

If you heard it from a manager, don't believe it! Until you actually hear it from someone on the EB, don't believe it. As of yesterday, the company and IPA have not talked for two weeks.

Don't confuse the truth with the rumors people want to believe. After all this is APC.

ups cares about making money. it's really that simple.

ups will use this furlough threat and reduction in force bid to their benefit, but they will have no choice but to call of the furlough to get what they want.

ups thinks long term.

You may have missed the bulletin, but they can't do both. In order to USE the RIF language, there must be a RIF.

Simply put, they will furlough.

"The last airline you'll ever work for" as I was told on day one, may be just that. With our illustrious leader's hopeful integration of the FQM's I may just be done. UPS will likely draw this one out as long as they can. Gotta love it.
