DHL has taken over most, if not all, of the feeder contracts so there aren't any ABX Air feeders, they are all contracted by DHL.
 
When the IBT and APA struck UPS the idea was for UPS to lose so much revenue that it would reevaluate it's positions at the bargaining table. The point isn't to prevent shippers from having their packages delivered. An effective strike will result in shippers moving their business to UPS' competetors, such as ABF, FDX and the USPS. That's a good thing.

What the unions at other companies have to watch out for is a situation where the struke company contracts with other companies to move the struck freight. i.e. the shipper still deals with UPS but UPS hires other parties to move the freight. That would be a bad thing.
 
1997

  • The Boeing 767 was selected as the next generation aircraft for the ABX Air fleet. The 767 boasted a wide-body design enabling more lift capacity. Being nearly 15 years newer, it also could showcase better fuel efficiency and reliability.
  • Work began on the expansion of Sort D and Unload E. They were both completed by 1997.
  • Record amounts of freight were moved by many dedicated employees from all departments during August 1997 UPS Strike.
  • Late in 1997, ABX recognized its first 25-year employee anniversary.

Ohh. Thanks.
