[QUOTE="UPSer21, post: 634310, member: 17906"] Here is a little glimpse into a comparison I've started doing between our big brown, and FedEx. I collected the following information using Yahoo Fiance which allows you to look at the daily volume totals for both companies. [U]11/12/09[/U] [B]UPS[/B] total volume = 5,331,336 Avg. volume = 4,315,130 23.5% above average [B]FDX[/B] total volume = 2,516,568 Avg. volume = 3,145,000 19.9% [COLOR=red]below[/COLOR] average [U]11/13/09[/U] [B]UPS [/B]total volume = 4,447,204 Avg. volume = 4,322,100 2.89% above average [B]FDX [/B]total volume = 1,938,698 Avg. volume = 3,137,270 38.21% [COLOR=red]below[/COLOR] average I will be continuing the observation throughout the peak season. It looks that if Fed Ex has to stop hiding beneath the Railway Labor Act, and unionize its workforce... they will be walking right into their grave. I'm not sure they could afford to have a Teamsters contract that give raises at a specific rate, and also at the same time protect certain employees that are causing more harm than good to an already struggling company when compared to UPS. There will also be the occasional grievance filed, and more. Also interesting: [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20090209225326/http://fedexwatch.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
