[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 553562, member: 21891"] A level playing field, fair, would be UPS having the ability to use the same model as FedEx. We can't, because we are hobbled by the union. So we are pulling a Tonya Harding on FedEx. That's not fairness, that is not making the playing field level - that is breaking your competitors kneecaps with a pipe. All the fluff that people spew about fairness, level playing field - I call baloney. Let's use the Freeing of the slaves example above - to use what UPS is doing with FedEx would be the same as helping those that were slaves by making everyone slaves - that levels the playing field. It would be like taking the women who couldn't vote & telling them "no problem - we'll make it so both men AND women can't vote". Of course the above two examples make no sense and are stupid - and exactly what UPS is doing. If everyone at UPS said "hey, we're screwed due to the Union, and we can make FedExes expenses just as high as ours by using legislative warfare, forcing them to use higher wages & benefits", I would at least be able to respect that. But all this total BS about "fair" is a lie. UPS can't adapt with pay, so we force others to pay as much as we are forced to. At least that is honest. [/QUOTE]
