[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3038948, member: 24302"] I can remember years ago where you were stating you had a measure of control in your dealings with FedEx. Things were negotiable. Everything was spelled out in your contract. We were pointing out then that they may eventually start doing to you what they were doing to Express employees. You seemed confident they wouldn't. You don't sound as confident now. And I do not want to gloat, wouldn't wish what they did to us on anyone. But the time came when they had to address their Express turnover issue, and the only remedy was more money for employees. And that means someone else was going to have to take a hit somewhere because they put profit above all else. The day may come when they walk away from their Ground business because Amazon is too efficient at delivering goods cheaply. Maybe not, but to compete and pull profit out they'll do whatever it takes and they have the clout in Washington to get what they want. [/QUOTE]
