[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 550898"] Now, EVERYONE knows Fedex IS a delivery company. It's pretty obvious no matter what they claim about being 'special' and 'different'. My thought on this situation though, that I haven't seen anyone touch base with, is if UPS chose the right time to stand up in court about this. I'm not American, I'm one of those Canadian people that are rumored to be north of USA land but here's what I thinking: Fedex will win this in court. UPS DID drop the ball on this. If they had've waited until the recession was over they would have done A LOT better. If the bill actually passed making Fedex 'unspecial' it means the teamsters come in and strong arm Fedex (which everyone wants). What this would mean though is a higher wage for the employees. This also means, it's very likely, that thousands upon thousands of people would lose their jobs. With the way the economy is right now, I just don't see this happening. Everything might point to, 'yes, Fedex is a stinky liar and need to be ruled under the same laws' but right now just isn't the time, fortunately and unfortunately, I think the US courts will agree. The other downside to UPS being involved in this is that this is the ONLY chance they have. It will set the precedent that Fedex is 'special' and once it's in the law books it can't be overturned :( [/QUOTE]
