[QUOTE="But Benefits Are Great!, post: 425875, member: 15794"] I could go into a long diatribe explaining this, but you have the brains to figure out what I am saying; FedEx does not have a driver shortage - there is a wait to become a driver. Ground drivers pay many thousands of dollars to have the right to drive a route. I've never heard of one complaining that they are exploited. If one leaves, there are three to take thier place. Free market working the way it should. There is something really wrong with UPS employees trying convince FedEx drivers that they are unhappy. Level the playing field? You mean drag them down with all the same burdens as every other union shop, don't you? Let's all be honest in our hearts for just a second - Unionizing FedEx does not make UPS better in any way, it it will only hurt FedEx. It is like two drag racers on a drag strip. One (UPS) has four flat tires, the other does not (FedEx). For UPS to "help" FedEx by flattening its tires - that is noble? Don't think for a SECOND that UPS wouldn't copy the FedEx structure if given the chance. Any competent management would. I do not apologize in the slightest for believing in the free market, for believing in supply and demand. Last I checked, Socialism was dead. Go Bethlehem Steel! Fly Eastern! [/QUOTE]
