[QUOTE="fedx, post: 5315278, member: 64891"] I read that FedEx's plan for Network 2.0 is to merge stations between Express and Ground. It's already happening. They are going to combine stations so Express can pass off the "last mile" stuff to Ground in the same building. So that alone should end the RLA protection since they are operating as close to one unit as possible. My question is how long will that initial combination go on before FedEx just decides to just pass everything on to Ground? UPS has air freight and ground freight on the same trucks for efficiency. I think we can forget about merging Ground into Express.....it's going to be the other way around. The contractor model is the future for FedEx. It's pretty clear that FedEx is handing their delivery reigns over to Ground. If I was a courier, I'd be worried. Not sure if RTDs will be so affected since they are considered ramp employees.
