[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 561427, member: 11246"] The way I see it, UPS COULD gain more volume. Why, you may ask? Fedex has the ability, and does, tell their potential customers with their sales pitch ("we are not union and there is no fear of a work stoppagfe due to contracts"). I imagine this does help them gain and retain accounts. 2ndly, being that, at this time, UPS is larger we have lower costs then fedex UNTIL you throw in our pay(bennies included). If Fedex express went union and still had lower pay costs then UPS, it still could cost them the same as UPS or maybe even more for them to handle packages when you consider that they will have a higher pay cost's then they currently have. They COULD loose the ability to undercut UPS. Between loosing the "sales pitch" and the added costs....UPS could increase volume. That certainly would NOT be an advantage to the old timers, but for those of us waitting to go driving it could speed up the process. [/QUOTE]
