How is it incorrect? You don't think Fred keeps his business segments separate to avoid both unionization and taxes? That's exactly what he does. You just benefit from it as a route owner so of course you'll say that.
I guarantee you that if express and ground was one segment like ups, they would of been unionized by the teamsters and fedex would actually have to pay taxes. But since Fred owns the political process to keep his scam going, you have the fedex you have today.

Or corporations like fedex could actually pay taxes instead of getting refunds back through loopholes and rigging the system.

Yes it would if he had a unionized work force with a compensation package like our contract. He'd have no choice. Also those cheap rates would be gone too.

How would union wages and benefits at Express not effect Ground? Do you really think you could keep drivers if they new they could earn double and benefits at Express?

Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
Because of the nature of the business. Ground and HD are growing by 9% year over year. Express struggles to maintain. The profit margin at Ground is consistently high teens. Express is 5 to 7% when they aren't losing money (
).Keeping the two separate with the contractor model Meeks unionizing almost impossible
Ask your steward how he would like to help unionize 5500 small companies each with 10 to 20 drivers.
Even without the RLA, combining the two would make no sense.
Express Drivers already make more than my drivers. Not a big Exodus going on though.
Cheap rates? Fedex doesn't discount the way you think they do.
I agree. Care to add the names of some more corporations to that list?

With the current non existent wage progression and bare bones benefits it's not double. Now consider a wage progression to top pay, a union pension and health benefits and your ground drivers would leave in a heartbeat. FedEx would be forced to up your compensation to keep drivers and essentially erasing much of the cost savings of the scam model. Thus making the combining of services much more efficient and cost-effective.
They would leave...and Express would stop hiring them.

SW's only claim to fame and his only bona fide is his public sector Union busting.
He's got nothing else to run on, and that's the only thing he has going for him as a 'Republican' that would get him any kind of funding, and possibly the only reason he thinks he can actually make a run for it.
Anyone who thinks H. Clinton is a player should look at SW.
He's even worse of a friend than Trump; only difference is I think Trump actually means what he says.
SW, not so much, he'll say whatever he needs to say to get money for his tragic bid for the Presidency.
Can someone from Wisconsin chime in and tell us how much of a loser this guy is?
How much he changes his story?
You ever see that show, THE BIGGEST LOSER?
It's SW.

Bad Moon Risen'
John,
Gov. Walker has failed the people of Wisconsin. From not creating jobs to attacking union rights and dismantling public education, Gov. Walker’s policies have hollowed-out Wisconsin’s middle class and trampled on democracy. Gov. Walker’s actions make it clear that he doesn’t care about working people like us. Scott Walker is a slick politician who will do or say anything to get elected. He only cares about advancing the special interests of his deep-pocketed campaign donors.
TAKE THE PLEDGE: Don’t let Scott Walker do to America what he’s done to Wisconsin. Gov. Walker’s “divide and conquer” tactics are a recipe for disaster. We need to raise our voices as working people and sound the alarm. Take the pledge to educate all our fellow Americans on Gov. Walker’s extremist anti-worker agenda.
In his self-serving bid for the White House, Scott Walker has broken basic democratic principles time and time again. As working families, we need to sound the alarm about Scott Walker.
The Wisconsin AFL-CIO has reviewed Gov. Walker’s record on issues important to working families:
Attacks on Union Rights: Gov. Walker’s Act 10 stripped collective bargaining rights from public employees. Despite professing that anti-worker Right to Work legislation was not on his agenda while campaigning in 2014, just months into 2015 Gov. Walker signed controversial Right to Work legislation into law. Scott Walker’s 2015-2017 Budget rolls back prevailing wage standards for hardworking construction workers and removes the 24-hour rest period required in a 7-day work week, essentially killing the weekend for Wisconsin workers. In 2012, Gov. Walker even repealed a statewide law that helps women receive equal pay.
Where Are the Jobs? In Scott Walker’s 2010 campaign for Governor, Scott Walker promised repeatedly to create 250,000 jobs in his first term. He failed to deliver on that promise. Wisconsin consistently lags behind the rest of the nation in job-growth and has been dead-last in the Midwest for job creation. Currently, Wisconsin ranks 40th in the nationin job-growth.
Weakening of Wisconsin’s Middle Class: Gov. Walker’s bad policies and egregious attacks on union rights have led to a hollowing-out of Wisconsin’s middle class. In fact, according to a 2015 Pew Charitable Trust report Wisconsin ranks worst among the 50 states in terms of a shrinking middle class.
Gutting Public Education: Gov. Walker has enacted the largest cuts to education in Wisconsin history. During his tenure, Walker cut school funding more per student than any other governor in America. With cuts to public K-12 schools, technical colleges and higher education, Gov. Walker has dismantled public education, gutting neighborhood schools in favor of funding unaccountable voucher schools.
Attacks on Democracy: Gov. Walker has created roadblocks to democracy. In 2011, the Republican-controlled branches of government enacted hyper-partisan election districts in a shady power grab. The redistricting is so extreme a current lawsuit charges that the districts are unconstitutional. Gov. Walker signed Voter ID legislation, a known voter suppression tactic, into law. It is estimated that Walker’s voter suppression bill will disenfranchise 300,000 Latinos and African Americans in Wisconsin. In 2011, Gov. Walker even attempted to close DMVs, where citizens obtain an ID to vote. Despite claiming that he had no knowledge of a 2015 budget provision to gut Wisconsin’s Open Records Law, which helps citizens monitor their government, Walker’s office was later found to have beendirectly involved in creating the provision.
TAKE THE PLEDGE: Don’t let Scott Walker do to America what he’s done to Wisconsin. Stand strong to stop Scott Walker’s anti-worker bid for the White House. Together we can educate voters on Walker’s failed economic record. The last thing America needs is a Scott Walker Presidency.
*Forward this email to friends and family to help educate others on Walker’s failed record for Wisconsin families.*
America needs a leader who will bring people together to fix our economy by investing in the middle class by expanding workers’ rights, raising wages and creating jobs. Scott Walker has enacted policy after policy to weaken workers’ rights and cripple our middle class.
In Solidarity,
Phil Neuenfeldt, President
Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer

Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
Some unions strangle their company/government to death.
GM actually had to pay men and women to sit in a room all day doing nothing as a backup to their workforce because of the union.
In Wisconsin, some of the union teachers were paid $100k plus a year to teach 2 classes twice a week for a grand total of 6 hours a week for only 9 months of work.
Sometimes the unon kills itself by doing this.

Please stop with all the fact-y stuff, you're just going to confuse the children.

Nice how that study compared a single teacher's salary vs. median family income. Like comparing apples and oranges.

And how many months a year does the average teacher work?
