“UPS is currently targeting a younger audience, which means instead of being those folks that would be in the union for another 20 or 30 years, they’re saying, ‘Here’s your money. Go away, and you can never work for UPS again.’ It’s kind of driving a wedge because unions want to grow the membership. They really don’t want to get rid of people. And if they do get rid of people, they want them to have seniority,” said Arthur Wheaton, director of labor studies at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, in a phone interview.
And you can never work for UPS again. Sounds like UPS is following the Amazon model, only paying a little more while dangling the un achievable goal of a pension. Most won’t even last to qualify for benefits before they bail. They will definitely weaken the union since the younger the new hires are, the stupider they will be. Their problem will be the labor pool. Although, with our current education system, a steady supply of easily fooled idiots may bail them out.

Still, lower membership in the union, along with lower dues will hurt. Not to mention pension contributions.
