What do you watch CFB? That will be next.

They both have Union contracts between the owners and players. Sorry you don’t realize this.

Amazon props up UPS.
I have zero sympathy for UPS workers thinking they are owed a job

Unions are a pyramid scheme where the lower level jobs are bargained away for the benefit of those higher up so they can get more money for doing less.

I think a similar thing is happening with the rail roads. A family member was complaining that UP(IIRC) was closing some yards and cutting some jobs.
I mentioned that maybe it had something to do with the new contract. He looked at me like I had two heads. And then said they are ready for a new contract. Must be nice.

I just went to nola.com to look at the news. This was the first headline I saw.
UPS closing another part of its New Orleans East facility, threatening more job losses

Sorry you don’t realize that the player’s union represents a group that exists solely for entertainment purposes and doesn’t have to concern itself with turning a profit.

Let's get rid of all those special anti-trust laws and then have have complete unfettered free agency with no salary cap. Maybe we can start up a new union that commences in little league footbal and terminates when you diel.

$170K+ a year, to drive a van around and deliver packages is insane.

I took a return to our local UPS store which I understand are independent ownership from UPS proper. I hope they don't shut them down. I've used them several times in just the last few weeks. Very convenient

Lot of misinformation in here. They don't make $170k except a select few feeders and that's including benefits. The buy out is $1800 per year of service or 10k minimum. It's not worth it unless you was already retiring within 6 months.
The whole reason they're offering is with most centers going automated that's a lot of part time employees laid off/ doing nothing. If they can get the senior guys out and new guys in they'll save a ton of money cause it takes the new guys 4 years to top out. They currently make $44 top out and I think the new guys start at $31.
The union is totally against it for one reason only. 20,000 x 2 hours of pay per individual per month = a lot of money

Better than that. The teamster contract pays OT after 8 hours in a day (used to at least) and over 40. The trick was to get into OT with as little straight time as possible.

The players have a union contract. It’s not that hard people. Sure it’s different industries but they both have unions.
