[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 724620, member: 24302"] OK, but to reorganize to the point it can compensate 50,000 employees at a level close to UPS may require a lot more pain than trimming 2500 jobs in Memphis. If doing so would bring FedEx that much extra cash I bet they'd have already done it, at least through attrition, to claim that money as profit. To do what you are saying may have to go beyond Memphis. They may have to reduce number of managers, require mgrs to handle more employees. Give mgrs a little more pay for doing so but eliminate bonuses and other perks. And if employees do unionize, any group that can't, i.e. Ground drivers, probably won't see pay increases any time soon. As that's their cash cow I don't see them doing anything to mess that up. In other words they can turn the company upside down and inside out to pay the union wages and maintain profits, or they can restructure the business to minimize union impact, transferring some if not all freight to Ground, tell Express employees to stick it. Based on the last 20 or so years, what would seem most likely? [/QUOTE]
