[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1038945, member: 12508"] I think it's time that the sleeping Brown Giant wakes-up and does something about FedEx Ground. As others have already pointed out, Ground will figure into your contract negotiations because UPS will be offering less based on Ground taking UPS market share. My advice would be for UPS to attack the Ground business model on the basis that it doesn't pass the independent contractor smell test. FedEx Ground non-employees are held to employee standards, managed by FedEx more than their contractor "boss", and essentially are true employees. Once the courts rule that Ground drivers are employees, much of the cost advantage disappears because Fred won't have a bunch of drivers willing to work for $12 per hour with no benefits. It's time to start worrying about your jobs and take Ground seriously. Look what's happening to us at Express right now. [/QUOTE]
