Default UPS UK Issues

LONDON (AP) -- Shipping company UPS has been barred from moving air cargo through some U.K. facilities because of security deficiencies, the British government said Friday.
The Department for Transport disclosed the action but gave no information on the security issues and didn't identify the locations involved.
It said that "following careful consideration, the department has restricted the number of sites in the U.K. at which UPS Ltd. are permitted to screen air cargo until it has satisfied current security requirements."

Thats sad how this great company has become the scumbag of frieght ops so quickly in the hands of new regime in atlanta just in the past 3 yrs. You can save and cut cost so much before you start jeopardizing the whole operation. SHAME ON THEM.

The sad thing is they'll all jump with golden parachutes right as the house of cards folds underneath them.

It's almost seems like the Atlanta gang are working for the competition and purposley trying to destroy ups. Look at what has happened the last 2 yrs here VS what is going on Memphis.

I'm sure those responsible for this oversight will be found and promoted immediately.
