[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 872154, member: 4886"] My point is that back in the 60's and early 70's and on. Don't you think that people at UAW said the same thing. I'm not saying the downfall of GM and Chrysler etc was only due to the UAW. There was a lot of blame to spread around. But I'm willing to be the attitude they had then is similar to the attitude you are showing now. The majority of customers are going to utilize the low cost option when given a choice. I think we can all agree that UPS pays far more to UPS drivers the FDX drivers get (whether FDX air or FDX Ground contractors). As they grow, they gain the advantages of density that we had. If they combine their operations they will have some bumps in the road, but they will vastly improve their overall density and then we will really be in trouble. For 20 minutes stop thinking about UPS Teamsters vs UPS Managment. instead think of UPS vs FDX. Look at the financial reports for FDX, look at how their volume is growing in the ground segment. That volume is coming from pkgs that could have been ours. Look at their growth rate, compare it to UPS % growth rate in ground pkgs. Then think of how long we can continue letting them grow faster then us. [/QUOTE]
