[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4370421, member: 60252"] The ISP model forces people to spend money to manage fedex's business for them. The ISP model is a fraud. Fedex could do it all cheaper if fedex didn't fear the unions. Fedex could buy vehicles en masse cheaper than individual ISPs, could buy fuel in bulk, and even hire managers more cheaply if they didn't fear union wages and benefits, and liability. Now an ISP has to pay to get a job as a manager. ISPs are buying a job- not a business. FEDEX found a way to insulate themselves from public awareness that their serice is staffed by low income workers with no benefits common to most Americans- paid vacations, paid holidays, sick pay, and so on they even most non-union employers offer. It is part PR and PRT avoiding legal liability, and ISPs are told how vital they are, and some pay big money because in any other field, they would be considered as too unskilled to even manage their own starting time.. Some ISPs may be more educated or have more skill, but it us basically only a high school graduate level job. Some may have enough income to pay a little more or provide a minimal 'benefit' package, but that is the exception. "figure out how to get them delivered"?????????But the box in the truck, and drive it there. Tough figuring- I did it for you. Must be highly skilled. [/QUOTE]
