[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5581600, member: 24302"] If FedEx made Ground drivers employees they could certainly afford to pay them much better and give them decent benefits. But what about Express employees? FedEx won't be able to give them the level of pay and benefits UPS drivers enjoy because Express has built in overhead flying most of its freight that UPS just doesn't have. Can they do better? Sure. But not at that level and you denying that won't change the immovable mountain of costs that flying the freight incurs. And if they charge more to compensate for that they lose market share to UPS. Nobody wants to hear it if it's affecting their job, but this is a cutthroat business run by cutthroat businessmen who's primary objective is to get rich and make their shareholders wealthier. If we weren't willing to be as cutthroat organizing a union when there was a legitimate chance then the only real choices you have now is either roll with whatever they come out with or start looking for something else.
