[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 554010, member: 12508"] When was the last time you saw a FedEx plane pull up to someone's house and deliver a package? No ploy by UPS, and FedEx won't go out of business. A monopoly? Hardly. FedEx has a large share of the market and raising rates by 3 or 4% (not 30%, as they are saying) will not result in a mass exodus of freight to UPS. In view of the fact that UPS is unionized and pays fair wages, just how is it that they have remained in business for so long and prospered at such a high level? Did the Teamsters drag them into bankruptcy? The simple answer is "no". This whole controversy is an attempt to paint UPS as the bad guy and let Fred continue to exploit his workers at will, as he has demonstrated repeatedly over the years. If FedEx is such a great company, WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF? We'd just vote no because it's such a wonderful employer, wouldn't we? You know better, and trying to spin this into a UPS ploy is ignorant.
