[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 750071, member: 1"] [B]As FedEx, UPS slug it out, rural service at stake - Google[/B] At issue is whether FedEx Express, the company's delivery division, should be reclassified as a trucking company, like UPS, or retain its federally granted status as an airline. If FedEx loses its special status under a measure now before Congress, its employees could more easily unionize. That in turn could drive up costs for the Memphis, Tenn.-based company, forcing it to trim services in rural areas where costs are highest and profit margins thinnest, said shipping industry expert Satish Jindel. UPS, which says it merely wants a level playing field, dismisses warnings of potential service cuts as fearmongering meant to bolster FedEx's bid for special treatment. [/QUOTE]
