[QUOTE="ddomino, post: 59331"] Fedex falls under the airlines laws, UPS falls under the railway act or laws. The reason is Fedex started as an airline and moved into ground. UPS started as a ground carrier and moved into the air. It is my understanding that the air laws require organizing to be done on a much bigger level. The union can't organize S CA, N CA then ID, then CO, etc... They must organize all at once, and vote all at once. This makes it very hard to get them organized, but Fred is helping our cause. When they were RPS it would have been against the law to aquire them. Now that they are part of Fedex, I think the rules are different. But why would we want them? If UPS would treat the customers and the employees in a matter that is humane, provide the service that is being paid for, and allow the drivers to provide that service, UPS would have all that volume. Customers who are happy don't change. That is why Fedex has held the lead in the air. Only now that they are not providing the service, due to internal cost cutting, are other carriers reaping the rewards. But the new customers won't stay if they don't get better service. The carrier willing to put service above all will be the one to thrive. Profit may suffer short term, but in the long run all will be grand. I hope that one will be UPS. [/QUOTE]
