I will have to chime in here on this one. I do believe Express employees need to top out quickier and work their 40 instead of Fed Ex hiring part timers to cut back on your hours would a Union help with this Yes.. However you need to know that Ups did not get what they have over night it took a while to get the contract they have today. I personally dont believe Express will ever make the money that a Ups driver does for the simple fact yes it is the same job but not really. The only way that will ever happen is if every entity of Fed Ex becomes one. A fedEx driver is a courier that will deliver air and ground and pick up air and ground. Do 125 to 175 stops a day 400 piecies 150 lb weight limit and 30 to 40 pick ups of both air and ground. Then and only then could it be said we do the same job. That is when we will deserve the 30 dollars a hour they get. I am no fan of Smiths but he figured out a long time ago how to make billions while screwing the little guy. Which is why Ground and home delivery run under a contract model and Part timers are being hired to do Express work is it fair no. But what do I know I am just a Ex Con who dosent shower or shave and deliver for Ground.
