[bbsam]

You can't go from being an employee to a non-employee, unless, of course, Ground was properly re-classified to show that drivers actually are employees.

Of all the strange dealings I've seen, Fred and his lackeys setting up a back door deal with big Ground contractors to "re-home" Express couriers for whatever reason does not seem far fetched at all. After all, FedEx SET UP the Ground infrastructure, which is massive. What would it take to re-home a few couriers? We all know he skirts what is considered ethical in business practice. Is it not plausible that he would skirt a contractual agreement or reword to his advantage somehow as well? Why let ethics get in the way of profit?

There is no limit to the depths the weasel Smith will stoop in order to turn a buck, regardless of whom and to what extent it may completely fark over others. The man is positively soulless and bereft of any ethics, morality or conscience.

It's not a few couriers. We are the largest of all the opco. There is to many legal issues that would make it nearly impossible. One being, and probably the biggest, the RLA couldn't protect his precious ground opco from unionization if there was an influx of Express employees to ground. This is the reason he keeps them separated.

Oh, good lord! There is nothing that disallows Ground from mixing its system. They can keep 90% contracted labor force and a 10% company driver set up.

We aren't talking about all the Express drivers. Just a very select small number.. Remember the whole idea is thinning the overall number of Express couriers, not the complete elimination of Express.

 

[bbsam]

In this setup, the RLA issue really doesn't come up as Ground is covered by the NLRA anyway. But the number is of.compamy drivers is kept small enough that any threat of work stopage is simply absorbed by the much larger contracted workforce.

 

[MAKAVELI]

Your little fantasy will always be that, just a fantasy.

 

[bbsam]

Hardly a fantasy. I doubt much of it happens. You, on the other hand might want to consider the myriad of possibilities that may next be coming your way.
