[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 425459, member: 12508"] It's no secret that there will be a big push to unionize FedEx Ground (and probably Express, as well)when Obama takes office. The point of this post is that Smith is already working on the issue, apparently by making preparations to shift a major portion of Express volume over to Ground, perhaps hoping that their (current) lower cost structure is going to save him some money (at the expense of Express employees) for the time being. Maybe he's betting that the old Independent Contractor model will be upheld as lawful (doubtful). If Ground [I]does[/I] go union, then the equation is also going to change. Smith is going to do what's right for Smith and [I]not[/I] his employees, despite propaganda to the contrary. Just another reason that we do need a union to protect ourselves from his actions.
