[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 288638, member: 12508"] This is probably the year that the implosion process at FedEx really takes off. Between the lawsuits,incredibly unhappy employees, and increasingly unsatisfied customers, the feces is going to hit the fan, and UPS will be undoubtedly be a beneficiary. Many Fedex Express facilities actually turned away inbound freight this peak because they were too short-handed to deliver it on time, and it was a "soft" peak. It's no secret that UPS has been doing some heavy lobbying regarding FedEx Express and the RLA, and I'm sure Big Brown is pretty happy with the direction the FedEx Ground lawsuits are heading. That said, I think having FedEx as part of the Brown Cafe Forums will be great for both parties. UPS'ers can keep track of the changes at FedEx that will affect UPS, and we at FedEx can learn how to go about the business of organizing to protect ourselves from predatory Tayloristic management. You wear brown, and we wear blue, but we're in the same boat when it comes to being constantly pressured to be more productive by innovative engineering types who couldn't actually run a route if their lives depended on it. If the computer says it can be done, then it must be so. All praise the father of scientific motion studies....the great Professor Taylor!!!(engineer's mantra) [/QUOTE]
