[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 533489, member: 21891"] Well of course they are. And it is completely legal to do so. My point has NEVER been the motivation of FedEx to use the IC model - it is clearly less expensive & less hassle on FedEx. My point has NEVER been if the IC model they use is legal or not. It is. My point has never been whether UPS or FedEx has the better system. (FedEx system is better for FedEx, UPS system is better for the employees) My point has ALWAYS been this; It is transparent bullying in the classic "Tonya Harding" fashion that UPS/Teamsters/UPS employees are pushing for the disintegration of the IC model so FedEx can become one great big union shop, [B][I][U]for the purpose of helping the poor underpaid workers at FedEx.[/U][/I][/B] Because that is complete & utter BS. Anyone who states that we are doing this to help those poor souls, or feels that way, is only spouting off what they have read posted by the union or what they heard from others that are misinformed. There is a good reason why there are MUCH fewer union workers than in the past, and it is NOT because they are good for our country, it is NOT because unions make us more competitive, and it is NOT that unions have the company's or country's best interests at heart. Someone above (maybe another post) insinuated that I must be very selfish to have this position. On the contrary - and please think about this before you get your torches & pitchforks - I believe there is no way to be more selfish than to be a union member. It is then ALL about the individual, with no regard whatsoever for the whole. It is the classic "screw everyone else, I want mine" scenario. The well-being of the customer, the company, the country falls behind the needs (contractual obligations) due ME. [/QUOTE]
