[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 805810, member: 22662"] Oh, my. Your imagination is running away with you. Maybe you haven't been around long enough. Maybe it all makes sense in your own small corner of the world. You see, back before there was a company called Fedex Ground, there was a company called RPS. Virtually all drivers back then were contractors. Guess what was happening back then? Everyone was feeling sorry for the contractors because they were getting the shaft even if they were failing due to there own incompetence at running a business. Oh, there were the same cries then of being micro-managed, and underpaid and generally screwed over. Now jump forward 20 years. Now it's all about the drivers are getting screwed. You see, the supporters of change, Lynn Faris and the Teamsters and Fedex Watch and MFE always had it in mind that change must take the form that they envisioned. Didn't happen that way. And regardless what a UPS man heard from a Ground driver on the west coast and posted on BC, we are farther from the Teamster's idea of needed change than ever before. That is not to say that things are not going to change for drivers, indeed they will and I believe they will be much better off in the near future. But to mirror Ground after UPS? No. That's not going to happen. And if you think management at Ground is riding you hard, I fully encourage you to apply at UPS. Brother, you ain't seen nothin' yet. [/QUOTE]
