[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 547139, member: 22880"] Here is a link to an excellent article written by a disinterested party regarding the FedEx attempt to call the possibility of getting its RLA status revoked a "UPS Bailout" [URL]http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2009/06/12/play-fair-fedex.aspx[/URL] Fred's continuing tunnel vision regarding the possibility of Express employees unionizing has blinded him to the consequences of his dirty trick; he's really ticked off about 400,000 UPS employees. Now he's added another 400,000 potential opinions wanting to have the RLA exemption pulled. I don't think in his wildest nightmares he'd imagine that his action would result in adding so much support for his employees to have the choice to unionize. This is supposed to be the shrewd business leader that can foresee the consequences of every deliberate action he takes. If he didn't foresee the consequences of his dirty trick, he's not on his game. Possibly reacting to events in a paranoid manner... It also appears that UPS is fighting back by offering current FedEx customers a large discount on rates if they switch (heard a 24% discount to current UPS rates). Looks like our trucks are going to be getting a little lighter in the coming months. Bravo Fred, you've pulled another Kinko's debacle when I thought you couldn't top yourself. FDX shareholders, it is time to start getting heard. This guy would rather play scorched earth with FedEx, than act in a responsible manner with his employees and customers. [/QUOTE]
