[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 823529, member: 12508"] If FedEx can outsource a job function or otherwise make it less expensive, they'll do it. The problem is, it doesn't leave much in the way of job variation possibilities for employees. Just ask an RTD how many options they have now in comparison to what they had prior to outsourcing. Most ramps now have a handful of overnight or medium haul runs because it's mostly been farmed-out. This is another big plus for unions, because jobs have some degree of protection built-in. At UPS, for example, they cannot outsource Feeder (RTD) functions. Fred saves big money by using contract truckers instead of FedEx employees, who must settle for short local runs or PT status. Many of these folks had to return to being couriers just to get enough hours to eke-out a living. Fred can also outsource courier functions, and I've been made aware of several stations that have cartage agents do FO. Sorry, Fred, but that's OT or work that[B] employees [/B]should be doing, not outsiders. Just one more way that FedEx "Cares". [/QUOTE]
