[QUOTE="COSMOS, post: 505691, member: 12603"] 1. I hear this "level playing field" term used by UPSers everywhere. It must be crammed pretty far down your throats by the Teamsters. It will never happen. There is competitive advantage/disadvatage in every industry. UPS will continue to lose market share until it comes up with an innovative new way to compete. Nothing will be gained by complaining. FedEx Ground has brought itself into compliance with state law where IC status was an issue and the IRS dropped its judgment. This will become more of a non-issue as time goes on. 2. What do FedEx Express employees hope to gain by Unionization. Look at the DHL teamsters. The nearest union DHL barn [I]was[/I] 90 miles from here. They made less than I do. Now they have been replaced by IC's from some out of state company. The Teamsters see their numbers slowly declining and they'll do anything to find new members. Any Express courier who thinks he's going to see $29/hour and a $3500/month pension is kidding himself. The only thing you can count on is another paycheck deduction. 3. As a side note Obama has threatened to veto any FAA reauthorization with the FedEx ammendment attatched. [/QUOTE]
