[QUOTE="Bald1der, post: 5192009, member: 37334"] Although I agree that the company is going to have Ground deliver as much freight as possible, I think shifts in the labor market are driving this decision too. My managers said 2 weeks ago they were told to make this announcement by "the chairman." They framed it around continued volume growth, labor availability, hub staffing, and hub throughput. One manager even made the assertion that Express will deliver Ground volume in failing areas, and it has been done in other markets in the country. It's stupid, it's redundant, I get it. But the company keeping employee couriers on hand makes sense in terms of the optics and operations of a functioning company. A Ground driver at one of my stops told me she wants a job where she doesn't have to show up on time or make deliveries by certain times. If that is a common sentiment the company will still need employees. [/QUOTE]
