[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3539878, member: 60252"] A lot of contractors believe they are irreplaceable and offer fedex something fedex can't get some other way. They think that fedex can't buy trucks or hire people or maintain trucks as cheap as the contractor can. Fedex would NEVER hire one manager for every 5 or even 10 drivers and already hires drivers with fedex HR in EVERY city/area fedex express operates. Fedex uses contractors ONLY to help it avoid unionization costs. If fedex hires ground drivers as employees, it opens them up completely, including express, to unionization efforts and the possibility of UPS-like wages and benefits. Fedex has nothing against hiring employees, they did it with express. If fedex was against hiring employees, the first express drivers would have been contractors. But since fedex was operating as an airline, they were able to avoid unions, which Smith reportedly hates. [/QUOTE]
