Probably not everything, but when multiple mechanics at different locations tell you their union has told them to update their displacement preferences, makes you go hmmmm.

You totally missed the wave at UPS, we will not be hiring in significant numbers anytime soon. To put it in perspective, here is some recent news, heard from multiple sources, not one or two:
1) PHL and DFW day sorts being shut down for now, SDF day sort being reduced, volume being shifted to Next Day Air.
2) Our volume is down below Pre Covid levels.
3) The nasty F word being thrown around.
4) RDG and VLOA will be expanded until peak, hopefully to quash any more rumors of the nasty F word.
5) 90%+ of our postal volume will be gone soon. The gateways that had morning flights to SDF, making it easier to commute, will most likely be gone.
6) Our Asia volume has fallen off a cliff.
Hopefully volume returns soon, TBD.

Poolies, above post is pretty out there. The F word isn’t going around.

Yes heard DFW day sort could be shutting down….PHL doesn’t have a day sort
Why is our postal volume leaving? Contract expiring?

1) PHL and DFW day sorts being shut down for now, SDF day sort being reduced, volume being shifted to Next Day Air.
2) Our volume is down below Pre Covid levels. Latest report from the union (a few weeks ago, anyway) was volumes are still higher than pre-Covid levels and the forecast (from the company) in the next 12-18 months is for those volumes to increase slightly and then stabilize.
3) The nasty F word being thrown around. This is insanity. Nobody has used the F word, stop with the BS.
4) RDG and VLOA will be expanded until peak, hopefully to quash any more rumors of the nasty F word.
5) 90%+ of our postal volume will be gone soon. The gateways that had morning flights to SDF, making it easier to commute, will most likely be gone.
6) Our Asia volume has fallen off a cliff. I’ve been in Asia the last couple of bid periods and volume on my flights absolutely has not fallen off a cliff. They’ve been full and heavy flights, per the normal. Maybe I’m just flying to and from the wrong gateways, but everyone I’ve talked to in theater has seen normal volumes.
Hopefully volume returns soon, TBD.

I will agree with you that this hiring window is closed and can’t see us hiring again for at least the remainder of year, probably longer.

Dunno man, the sky isn’t falling. Maybe because we’re not hiring like it’s 2022? Some anger and discontent due to the slower movement? One thing about this place, they adapt to the economy and figure out a way to make money. It’ll all be good when this thing shakes out.
