[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 520700, member: 11425"] If Fedex Ground isn't doing anything illegal with their contractor model, fine, end of arguement. But if what they are doing does not jive with the law, UPS has every right to insist that they stop breaking it. Also, if UPS decides they can no longer compete with Fedex without using a contractor model of their own, than with great initial pain UPS will eventually make the switch, or go out of business. (Now for the editorial) And eventually, when we stop creating good paying jobs that allow the average guy to live what we feel is the "American Dream", we can flush this grand experiment we experienced over the last 100 hundred years down the toilet. We can work our 14 hours a day, six days a week, with little or no health care, having just enough for the basics of life, until we are dead or disabled. And we better be damned happy that we are even afforded that opportunity! What gall the average guy had thinking he should benefit so much from the fruits of his labor? And, after we, the average shmoe, no longer have the need for delivery services at the level demanded now (we won't have the cash), will the Mr. Burns of this world keep these companies afloat shipping ivory back scratchers back and forth to one another?
