[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 734956, member: 12570"] Mr Fed Ex, the point you may be missing is that employees of a Fed Ex Ground contractor are there by their own choice. They began their employment with a clear understanding of what was expected of them and the compensation and benefit package that would be made available to them. This is not indentured servitude. I would have to think if more work is diverted to Ground the increase in revenue would allow the contractor to better compensate their employees. A ground contractor is a businessman. He does not run a charity. He is in business for the sole purpose of making a profit, not unlike every other businessman. If he is able to find qualified employees willing to accept his terms of employment then more power to him. Would I work there under those conditions? If it meant putting food on my table and a roof over my head, you damn right I would. I have worked worse jobs than that. Do I personally feel that Ground drivers are undercompensated? Yes and hopefully this will change over time. Will you ever see UPS wages at Ground? No. (This may actually work to the advantage of Ground in terms of securing new volume) [/QUOTE]
