[QUOTE="Anonymous 7, post: 321356"] Did any of you catch that link about the Teamsters trying to organize the DHL contractor drivers in the Sacramento, CA area? They tried to organize Airborne contractor drivers several years ago when I drove for a contractor in Southern California. The contractors all got together and showed us a video and gave us other information about going union (of which I already knew). The Teamsters pulled out because another Airborne location's drivers gave a thumbs down to going union. The Teamsters were only there to represent themselves, not any drivers for contractors! It's all about making a buck, at the expense (or should I say ignorance) of the driver's emotions. The contractors only get paid per driver, per stop and per package.

True, Airborne/DHL is ignorant for thinking that they can get miracles at minimum wage, and they (like all employers) deserve to get what they pay for. I drive for FedEx Express now, and it's great!
