[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 941251, member: 33209"] If you read my postings, you'll notice that I stated a) FedEx Ground enjoys a heavy (labor) cost advantage over UPS and (b) FedEx Ground's volume is growing at a torrid pace. Which of those statements aren't true? I never suggested that FedEx is a better workplace, or FedEx drivers are more happy with their jobs -- because it doesn't matter. If UPS is unable to keep its costs under control, and FedEx remains non-union, the cost advantage will grow so large it will ultimately force UPS into bankruptcy. It's inevitable. And your compensation justification would hold merit only if people weren't willing to endure a decade of working part-time to drive. In theory, compensation is suppose to be dictated by the market. The only reason UPS employees are paid so well is because we are covered by a CBA. [/QUOTE]
