[QUOTE="whimpy, post: 241565"] I would love to see the teamsters come in and organize the package handlers at Fedex ground. They treat everybody as a replaceable cog and the union could help level the playing field. The fedex drivers make the same rate as ups drivers but they must keep up their trucks pay insurance costs and pay for the truck. The playing field between ups and fedex is not fair nor even. But what does the union do? NOTHING. I have never seen a teamster doing a thing nor have i ever heard them approach the fedex package handlers or the drivers. Why? I wish i knew. Make the competition fair and equitable and see who wins. Fedex is cheating. They pay no workers comp, health insurance, holiday pay, overtime pay, or any other benefit. If ever there was a company ripe for organizing it is fedex ground. The new management is hard on people and the teamsters are not jumping on this opportunity. WHY? Are the teamsters doing that well that they do not need any new members. If they do not bring up the wages at fedex and dhl ups will in time go the way of Consolidated Freightways. UPS cannot compete financially and if they continue to yeild market share to fedex ground and allow outsized profits to flow to fedex corp, Fedex will eliminate ups within 10-15 years. Look what has happened to the trucking industry the union truck companies barely make any money and do not invest in their operations because they do not have the money to do so. They non-union trucks companies make money and are doing well. It will be the same with UPS unless the teamsters help UPS survive. Fedex ground is ripe for the union to come in represent them.
