[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1042611, member: 12508"] If you do strike, Ground will get a defacto bump in business, which might actually work in your favor. As I've said, Ground couldn't handle the additional volume, so FedEx might get a black eye from disgruntled customers. I remember the last strike, and all of the shippers who swore they'd never use UPS again. They all came back. The truth about FedEx Ground is that UPS will never be able to beat them on price. Service is another matter. Most Ground drivers are either on the $12-$14 per hour plan, but some are flat-rated with a salary of $450-$650 per week. You can imagine the quality of worker you get for that kind of money...not very good. However, their willingness to work for nothing means FedEx can always undercut UPS on rates and still make huge profits. This is why UPS and the Teamsters need to attack Ground legislatively, and prove that Ground drivers are actually employees. This would force FedEx to pay both higher wages and provide benefits, which would eat substantially into their unfair advantage. UPS stands by and does nothing...I don't get it. [/QUOTE]
