[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2330210, member: 58386"] Here is what you're missing Ground drivers are under Taft Hartley and can organize on a local by local basis. That is the reason why the work is farmed out to contractors. If a contractors employees as IWBF stated were to go union X would cancel or not renew the contractors agreement. When I started with RPS in 1992 it had 4% of the market .Today it's more like 30% of the market and is expected to have 51% of the market by 2020. Not able to compete you say? The numbers say otherwise. As for merging they have already started with the elimination of HD and it's merging with Ground. As Smith plainly stated in the last quarterly conference call Ground will run 6 days a week permanently and the move to 7 is on it's way All of this is clearly in preparation for Ground hauling air box sometime in the future It will be easy to know that change is on it's way if and when scanners that can scan both Ground and X boxes start showing up and as stated earlier Ground is handed the Xpress Saver and 3 day business. As for contractor equity, the model does not exist for the purpose of creating equity. It exists solely for the purpose of acquiring low cost trucking and labor. Profits create equity and after seeing what some IC and ISP operations were being sold for it became clear that contractors in the opinion of X were making too much money and so they have set out to correct the matte r through heavy downward pressure on settlements. Anything is possible is this highly fluid and rapidly evolving situation but ground grunts become X jocks I believe has to be paced near the bottom of likely outcomes. [/QUOTE]
