I don't understand how UPS is allowed to reduce the number of jobs and replace with robots.

Those are union jobs that this is replacing.

If a supervisor stepped into those trucks and unloaded it, there'd be a free grievance, but if it's a robot, no problem?

So many better uses for robots that money could be invested in.

WORLD'S STRONGEST.

I’m sure it will be a contract issue in the next contract As you can see UPS held off until the last one was ratified. Amazon I feel doing it way faster

Jam breaking?

Moves like this one can create a major ouch to many pension plans.
These plans depend on all the p'ters who never stay long enough to get themselves a pension.
All those funds get deposited into the main fund from which everyone draws.
Less unloaders = less money put in.
