Im not the Mail Man!
The funny thing is that the cost advantage is just passed onto the average Joe blow tax payer. Like Ive previously posted my brother is a Ground driver. He gets 700 dollars a week, and thats on the high end, with ZERO benefits. So my brothers salary is too low for him to need to pay any federal income tax. You read that correctly, he pays NO federal income tax. However he received roughly 7500 dollars back in his Federal income tax, how does that equate you ask, its called the "earned income tax credit". In addition his family gets government medical coverage from medi care, and to top it off he gets food stamps. Where does all this money come from you ask, well as demonstrated in the fact that he pays no Federal tax, primarily from us. I work at UPS and get a good wage, those of you at Express get a good wage, so we both pay are fare share of taxes apparently so we can subsidies the Ground drivers. FedEx makes BILLIONS in profit this is how they accomplish that.
So when I argue that the mis-classification of Ground drivers is a joke this is just another reason why we need to see that it ends. My brother works his butt off and deserves to be properly compensated for it, and as you can see the longer that FedEx and companies that like them are able to pass their expenses onto us tax payers the more you are going to have taken out of your checks.
So wake up and realize that the nickle you might save going to Wal-Mart or shipping FedEx Ground actually will end up costing you a lot more. Express drivers wake up, the success that X has had at washing their hands of any financial liabilities at Ground will come your way as soon as they are given the opportunity.
