[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 533877, member: 11425"] Ah, thank you for showing us that you have a horse in this race. I was wondering why, as a UPS employee, you so strenuously defend FedEx. I suspect you will say that it does not matter, that you would on principle support FedEx's position. That may be, but let's not pretend this is some kind of moral conundrum. We are talking not about morality but what the definition of an employee is, what an employer is, and the grey areas that can result. I personally support UPS' and the Teamster's stance when it comes to what they believe to be a proper employer/employee relationship. I share this belief because I have a vested interest in their prosperity. I also believe that FedEx Ground's business "model" is a threat to my company. For mostly selfish reasons I would like to eliminate that threat. I believe the bonus to FedEx employees would be a better job, either by FedEx adopting our wages and benefit structure, or by us eliminating FedEx altogether and hiring those ex-FedEx employees to deliver all that new volume we would have.
