[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 597840, member: 12508"] The Ground model is the big unknown. Until Fred gets all of the legal issues out of the way, we'll never know what his plan is. I agree that we need to go union now and force Smith to the table. One negotiation point could be keeping Express and Ground separate. By the way, Smith claimed the 2 operations would never be combined (in any way) when he originally purchased RPS way back when. A liar then and a liar now because they are already partially combined. The bottom line is that we've seen what happens when Smith has unchecked power...he abuses it and takes advantage of his employees. He is a known commodity and needs to be dealt with as such. If FedEx loses on the RLA Smith will have even more incentive to try and shift the lower priority Express products over to Ground. I don't think he'd dare try until he knows the Ground model is "safe". Doing it, and then having Ground IC's declared "employees" by the courts would be disastrous. [/QUOTE]
