[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 907911, member: 24302"] That's what I'm referring to. It starts small, but if Ground keeps chipping away, and it could take many years, drivers at UPS will have to settle for less than what they're getting now. They may always do better than FedEx but over time if there's less income then something will have to give. One thing I see very little of is advertising for Ground. When the time comes FedEx could make further inroads by advertising. And while many are unaware of the differences, most business customers who have been dealing with Express and Ground are aware of the difference. Again, I'm not taking sides, and I certainly agree FedEx took advantage of many companies ditching traditional pensions to screw us on ours. But the marketplace has changed. We're, the country that is, competing globally with countries that have much lower costs. To make a profit everything is on the table. And the powers that be have screwed things up so badly it could be a generation before things truly improve. Get used to high unemployment. It's normal in Europe and with so many factories closed here people will have to settle for McJobs. Good jobs are few and far between and too many are trying to find them. [/QUOTE]
