[QUOTE="Bald1der, post: 5455494, member: 37334"] Although the sentiment seems to be that volume is in a slump, the long term trend is that the volumes and stop counts will grow, meanwhile labor is going to become more scarce. Express probably has what 200k available bodies, built in and ready to do the work? I just can’t imagine the company pissing off, alienating, and forcing out a massive qualified labor force. Even a first year full time express courier will make $50k, with the straight numerical average being, what? $70 something? Telling some, most, or all of these workers to go work for a ground contractor for half would be telling them to quit and work for a different corporation or industry. Leaving that body and skill gone. Again, I believe that FedEx will try, but everything I’ve seen this company do in my tenure is a failure in the long run, or they have to seriously move the goalpost and call it a win. [/QUOTE]
