This doesn't directly deal with the topic but it's nostalgia. Put up w/ it from an old f**t. I worked my way thru college in Pittsbugh loading trucks on an evening shift for UPS. UPS has a tendency to get what it wants. When I first started with them in '63 they went no further west than a 5 mile perimeter into Ohio (Got them Youngstown) Over time they expanded West. It amazes me that there not just national but global today. They tried to recruit many of us into manager trainee ranks. ROTC got me into Army just in time for Viet-Nam. Got out went into teaching for the big bucks. Wonder where I would have gone & how many ulcers I'd have had, if I had hired on w/ UPS. We students had to join the Union, Local 249 of Teamsters even tho' we were pt. time. Local 249 gave UPS fits. They moved their entire hub to new Stanton just to get out from under them. <br />Pennsy: the standard railroad of the world.
