GROUND IS TAKING OVER EXPRESS

[MrFedEx]

Can you get any sillier?

You're a true believer in the cult. The RLA Express Carrier Exemption was a special sweetheart deal Fred worked into the FAA Reauthorization Act, and was bogus from the start. Besides combining the opcos, the rationale for an "exemption" no longer exists, since what was the former FedEx no longer exists in the same form.

It has been significantly altered, similar to your stilted world view and insane "logic". To make it simple for a low IQ individual like yourself, the FedEx of the past no longer exists, but has been significantly altered via the inclusion of an NLRA/NLRB entity, aka FedEx Ground. Combining companies has consequences. No matter how much you try and spin it, they are now entwined like you and your drag queen girlfriend.

Shill away. I hope the remaining employees give Fred the union he deserves.

Ya gotta love this place!
I ask you - where else can you go where a topic which starts out ‘Ground Is Taking Over Express’ evolves (devolves?) into discussing colossal clitties and labia-like scrotums?

Folks, you simply cannot make this stuff up!
I love it!

Devolves.

The same reasons that Amazon just fired their delivery partners.
FedEx delivers the “World on time “and has a standard and reputation as such.
Like it or not ground drivers best day at working there is the day they quit. There’s no future for them there, it’s a job between jobs.
To put a majority of freight in an unstable situation with no stability could affect the face of the company.
Ask yourself how this will affect express, will it now be a revolving door attracting a low level work force ? People don’t want non career jobs.
With Amazon making a run at the industry and maybe delivering more than just their product. If they succeed, Fedex could slip to number three.
FedEx better be careful

That’s all true. And none of it matters because they will never go back to the Express model. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it one more time: either they make it work or they sell to someone who does make it work.

I think they've opened a can of worms for keeping their rla exemption and ultimately keeping the 2 opcos separate.

 

[It will be fine]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they care less about keeping the exemption. Unions are on the decline. The more freight they move to Ground the smaller the workforce that could unionize and the less disruption labor strife would cause.

The company has never been worried about disruptions. They are simply worried about sharing more of the profit with employees.

After the failure of unions at Freight, I’d guess they aren’t too worried about it.

You're silly and your views on this are sillier.

Actually- about 2% of people are intersex. That's a lot of people you think should be treated badly simply because they don't fit your idea of what a person is.

I would agree with that, unless we win back the presidency and control both the House and Senate. Then all bets are off.

You think Bernie or Biden will make the same mistake?

I think they will have a lot of other things far higher on the “get done” list.

Biden I can see being distracted. But Bernie, nah, this is right up his alley.

We tried to play nice with 60 vote in 2009. Now 50 gets it done

If Bernie wins it’s the service unions that propel him.

You might have something there. The federal court ruling that backed up the placement of Fedex under the RLA was in 1996, two years before Fat Freddy bought RPS from Roadway. Granted Ground is reported as a separate OPCO but when you combine the movement of Express labeled shipments through Ground along with the reporting of operating results to the Securities And Exchange Commission under a consolidated operating results format in accordance with GAAP rules......then yeah, I can't see how there will NOT be questions if not future court challenges regarding X's continued right to that exemption.

I disagree on the opened can of worms scenario you offer.
As long as the US mail is involved I believe congress will extend the exemption for express.

Bottom line, in my estimation, to get Fedex's attention, it would take a nationwide no show by couriers. (as soon as you clowns can propagate some nuts, get busy, you're on the clock.)

At this time they (Fedex) are not able to pass P1 to a contracted ground owner for timely delivery.

In time, they will (just as they were forced to prematurely pass some P2 to @bbsam contractor) pass the rest, on their time schedule.

They will not destroy their brand.

@59 Dano, @bbsam,

Fedex Express will end up being a total air op and sorting operation with final mile delivered by contractors such as Sam.

What say you both?

It's not judging to point out what the Bible says is wrong to do.
