Exactly. I'm anti-union as they come but this didn't do a god damned thing except hurt everyone not in a union who worked for UPS directly or under contract.
Funny how Unions were designed to save the livelihoods, and often lives, of working families. But they've (d)evolved into gluttonous predatory self-serving entities that continuously fight for more money and less work for its members and give the middle finger to everyone else.

Did you read it?

UPS will cut 12,000 jobs and released a revenue outlook for this year that sent its shares down sharply.
The company also hinted that its Coyote truck load brokerage business may be put up for sale. UPS acquired the Chicago-based company for $1.8 billion in 2015.
The Teamsters in September voted to approve a tentative contract agreement with UPS, putting a final seal on contentious labor negotiations that threatened to disrupt package deliveries for millions of businesses and households nationwide. The contract includes pay raises for full- and part-time union workers, the creation of 7,500 full-time jobs and the filling of 22,500 open positions, allowing more part-timers to transition to full-time.
On a conference call Tuesday morning, CEO Carol Tome said that by reducing the company’s headcount UPS will realize $1 billion in cost savings. The job eliminations are anticipated to be among management roles and contractors, the company said.
Sounds to like 2 things are happening:
1. Too many repetitive management roles.
2. The contractors they like will be hired on as UPS employees and new teamsters.

It is a net gain of 18,000 new employees who presumable have families. Most of those 18,000 new employees probably are among the 12,000 contract employees who will now be full time employees of the company that is paying their salary. I get it that pisses some folks off but it is a win win for everyone involved including UPS who seems pretty satisfied by all accounts.
