[QUOTE="fedx, post: 5467973, member: 64891"] One word tells me why they won't do it that way. Unionization. If they merge Ground into Express like UPS, they risk losing RLA protection because they will be hauling mostly truck hauled freight. I guess I forgot to mention that in my previous comment. They also want the contractor model because they don't have to worry about unionization. Do I wish you were right Gone Fishing? Absolutely. If we were to do it the way you are hoping, then we could be like UPS, be unionized, and finally not have a 20 year top out employee plan. We'd also have a say in our work environment too. But like I said, FedEx is stingy and short sighted. They aren't looking 10 years down the road when they are out of business due to their business mistakes. They are only looking to the next quarter and how much profit they think they can make. [/QUOTE]
