[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 998415, member: 24302"] No, just saying yes, I've seen cartage agents over the years so I realize you are right about being able to use non-employees to deliver freight. Concerning unionizing, if FedEx ups profits considerably while employees are suffering, it might finally be the impetus that gets enough employees to sign union cards and force a vote. Everyone wants to talk about sheep, but employees are divided into hundreds of locations with little means to coordinate strategy. Anger might make the difference. And a union that gets off it's ass. And I know we're all talking about making Express a completely overnight service, but having Ground do all the deliveries had to be mulled over in their long range planning sessions. And if ever a union gets in, greatly reducing the size of Express by making it a pickup only service has got to be considered an option. On your last paragraph, profits have been very good for corporations lately while wages have stagnated and the middle class has shrunk. A new paradigm? [/QUOTE]
