[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 820662, member: 12508"] I understand that FedEx is addressing many issues with Ground. What you don't seem to understand is that Fred would be basically destroying his built-in 30% cost advantage by paying Express-level wages. He isn't likely to do that. You might see a benefit package or a slight raise in pay, but if you're thinking that Ground people are going to eventually topout at around $25 per hour, you're kidding yourself. Most of us over here at Express are very familiar with the forums that upper management holds with employees, or in your case, contractors. They've been happening for years, and very little, if anything, ever gets addressed. They are information sessions that make it look like the corporation is actually going to do something when they have absolutely no intention of doing anything. It's just a game that will go on [I]ad infinitum.[/I] Coke drivers are union and beer drivers are usually union, and FedEx isn't going to be luring them away. You might get some people from Cintas or other non-union companies that also pay crap wages. Sorry to burst your bubble. [/QUOTE]
