[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 986031, member: 22880"] Well, sooner or later, the UPS types are going to have to finally deal with the fact that Ground is starting to "eat their lunch" and do something about it. I don't mean trying to out compete Ground - who in the hell wants to outcompete someone making the equivalent of $12/hr? I mean aggressive political action to get legislation introduced which would give clearer legal language as to when an independent contractor is really independent and when they are not. Because if they don't, UPS will be forced within a decade to pull the same game FedEx is playing and spin off all of their delivery/pick-up operations into "independent service providers". The IBT would obviously strike If and when UPS tried something like this, but economics dictates there cannot be two actors in the same market doing the same thing with vastly differing cost structures - and have the actor with the higher cost structure survive for any length of time.
