[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 538174, member: 13921"] I don't think it will be that dramatic. IF they were to combine companies, they will then look at routes that will have their coverage shrink. Example, the area where I deliver. The FedEx express guy covers the area that 4-5 guys cover. The ground guy covers close to the same area. I don't talk to the ground guy, so I don't know if he attempts every stop, every day, but I do talk to the Express guy and know for a fact that he leaves stops until he has enough in an area to justify the drive. If you combine their air and ground volume, there probably still is enough work for 2 people, if they deliver every stop that is loaded, the day that it is loaded. If FedEx has to raise it's prices to cover added costs of a union contract or even the added costs of actual employees, I would also look for them to increase or actually stick to, their service guarantees.
