Uh... Some serious thread creep here.

My point was that Labor people are the Power Elite within UPS management.

Point taken sir, and my point is that most of us would love to be thrown into that bad old briar patch. For the Nazis you claim them to be, they have treated a lot of people very well.

In 23 years of observing them, my observations are very different.

They PAY fairly well, because they treat a lot of people very badly - if they did NOT pay well, nobody would be willing to put up with them. Zero "pride" in the workforce.

I have NEVER seen one pilot here wear a UPS ballcap, tee shirt, or any other company identifying item when they are not working. Never. It's a job. It pays the bills. It is what it is.

Pay does not equal treatment.

Maybe he's thanking The Open Time Band, featuring BR?

But I'm not comparing them to Nazis.

That would be an insult to both!

My point is that UPS labor is the tail that wags the dog.

You, sir, must be in UPS labor to even think that the company treats us well. Or, you're ACP Hemko. Who is the only ACP that is delusional enough to think that line guys have things too good or that there is no such thing as a fatiguing pairing. All the other ACPs that don't support line guys know that they've sold their soul (Gummer).

Personally any 3 hopper outbound from an EDW sort ought to be highly illegal.

I digress. The Nazis were efficient. The SS had a certain political orientation.
UPS is often not efficient and Labor types, well some of them are smoking some really really good stuff, they're so psycotic.

At least I have a job, and it pays good, that's about it. FWIW
