But remember folks, according to one person (not me), the 7.4% in America in the private workforce who are unionized are destroying the country. So maybe were better off. |
Actually, think of i the ISP model as the multiple route IC on steroids. Not in effect in California but in a couple states out east, maybe Maryland or Vermont? In that model, terminals go from having say, 30 contractors to 3-5 contractors. Not sure how the company accomplishes that, but from what I hear, the ISP's are very, very, well compensated. I also understand that the ISP's negotiate directly with Fedex for pay and benefits.
