[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 427191, member: 12508"] Exactly my point. A lot of shippers don't like FedEx Ground, but they use them because they are cheap. "Leveling the playing field" is exactly why UPS has been lobbying so hard for both the "card check" bill and the elimination of the RLA classification for FedEx Express. UPS would pick-up additional business in both arenas because the FedEx cost structure would rise substantially. While I don't like to see the competition gain some of our freight, I also think the time has come to fight for a union. Unfortunately, the economic downturn is going to make selling the Teamsters to FedEx employees more difficult because they know that there would be layoffs, and management will surely play-up that angle in their anti-union rhetoric. In a strong economy, it would be far harder for Smith to eliminate workers. It's going to be very interesting watching what happens during the next 6 months. [/QUOTE]
