Maybe someone here has connections to the higher-ups at Big Brown and can tell me why they have not been more vocal about the Fedex Ground advantage of using contractors who are really employees? I'm fully aware that UPS is pouring big money into changing the RLA, but that affects FedEx Express and Next Day Air, not ground movements.
UPS seems rather passive regarding Ground, and they've managed to steal away a big chunk of UPS business. Why? I realize I'm an outsider looking-in, but one would think that Brown would be a lot more interested in killing the Ground contractor scam than they would in getting the RLA language changed.
I realize that this has been debated ad nauseum, but why is UPS such a limp wiener as far as actually accomplishing anything to stop FedEx Ground from having such an extreme competitive advantage?
Haters...fire away. But maybe there is someone with some informed insight out there that makes sense.
