[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5374393, member: 58386"] So he has been able to negotiate some bulk and group savings on materials and supply contractors use? That's nice. So do you actually believe that FDX doesn't know about those economies and therefore will not use their existence as a way to drive a harder bargain with contractors? Of course they know it and most definitely will use it to drive rates down. So while Patton's intent was to try to find ways to put money in contractors pockets, in reality all he's doing is to putting money in FDX's pocket. Again, the only contractor benefiting outcomes that will actually matter are those he can win in court because those are the only ones that are binding upon FDX. And due to the fact that there is in place a governing legal authority with the power to make them binding. And as I'm sure you know what lies at the heart of the matter and that is that FDX has been playing too loose with the law for far too many years. [/QUOTE]
