[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 547468, member: 4932"] Don't think it would be possible to convert the Express employee business model to contractors easily, but other postings by current FedEx employees seem to indicate Fred has a long term plan to outsource express volume to his Ground division...and undercut his Express employees even further. As far as UPS employees striking if FedEx employees strike, what logic are you using? A strike is a collective action by employees engaged in negotiating a deal with their employer. The strike is a withholding of labor to emphasize the the employees are equals in the negotiations. Why in the name of all that is rational would UPS employees strike, since they (currently) have no beef with THEIR employer? A FedEx strike is an internal affair, UPS employees have no dog in that hunt. They would certainly support their union brothers and sisters in the effort, but engaging in a strike against their own employer in that context would be senseless. They would probably not cross a picket line to deliver any packages to FedEx sites though! [/QUOTE]
