[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1102582, member: 24302"] You keep missing that little detail that makes it possible for UPS to do what they do: they truck most of their freight. As long as FedEx is an airfreight business first and foremost they can't pay what UPS pays. As they become a ground freight business first and foremost they aren't going to do what UPS does, pay better, because they don't have to. And what pay increases they do dole out will most likely go mostly to Ground because it is their cash cow. You guys are fighting for a union that has been effectively shut out. See the Teamsters passing out cards to FedEx employees anywhere? Well? I never said they couldn't pay more but the union advocates aren't going to settle for a buck an hour increase or faster top-out times. They want what UPS has, good luck getting it. While we're at it, if FedEx becomes more profitable due to Ground, and Express somehow manages to get unionized and hits the jackpot with UPS pay and benefits, guess what? They'll do it on the backs of those lowly Ground drivers they love to sneer at. Ironic, isn't it? And just another example of how one group in this company is pitted against another and someone is always getting screwed. [/QUOTE]
