[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 538210, member: 927"] Why do you see a dramatic loss of jobs? It seems it would only be from two causes... One is that FedEx figures out how to get the same work done with less people. This could be through being more efficient and combining networks (which may provide additional competitive benefits). It could also be through improving methods and performance. In this case, is it necessarily a bad thing? Their network becomes more efficent and has less impact on cost. The other option is that after they had to pay for social security taxes and other regulatory items they have to raise prices which causes loss of volume. In this case, where will the volume go? I hope it goes to a union company that pays good wages and provides benefits to their employees. The lost jobs at FedEx would be offset with union UPS jobs. Of course, like you I'm biased.
