[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 715738, member: 12508"] Where do I start? First, FedEx does not move 80% of it's pkgs by air. Ever been to any of the hubs? There are thousands of truck runs every week that move everything from P1 to Heavyweight. Your figure is a mis-representation. Second, we are clearly underpaid relative to UPS. Another mis-representation. Third, DHL and TNT aren't covered by the RLA exemption clause. It only applies to FedEx Express and is unfair precisely for that reason. Why does Fred get such a special deal? Many DHL terminals were and are union. I don't know about TNT, but since they are a European company, I suspect that they are under the NLRA in the USA. As for UPS people who don't like unions...fine. I'm guessing they probably wouldn't feel the same way if they were making $10.00 less per hour and had their retirement taken away. The average UPS driver doesn't know how good they've got it relative to the competition. If Fred wants to shut union terminals down...let him. The problem with a national service is that it doesn't work very well when you can't provide said service. If he shuts-down LAX, for example, I think he might have a big problem on his hands. And as long as people like you keep posting crap, I'll counter it with facts and yes, my opinion too. If you don't care for it, read the postings of the FedEx synchophants that agree with Fred S and yourself. [/QUOTE]
