[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 545776, member: 11425"] Not if he expects to unfairly profit at the expense of many of his employees as he has been doing. FedEx has been able to compete with us, in my opinion, solely because of their lower labor costs. If the Express division tries to unionize, FedEx may unite the companies many divisions. Why? If, like us, they use one truck basically to deliver all of their services out of, maybe they can still be competitive. I believe it is our more efficient delivery system that allows us to be competitive with them. They might simply replicate ours. Now, will they then have all of these united employees be "independent" contractors, in order for FedEx to remain non-union? That would be an interesting move. But I think one of the reason they do not make the Express drivers contractors now is because I don't think that model lends itself to the rigid time commitments and level of service demanded by the express customer. If an Express driver is being paid a pittance, you will probably get the same service you can expect from a McDonald's employee. [/QUOTE]
