[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4621141, member: 58386"] While there will be some variation but not a lot in contract terms between union locals, nationwide all will be under a national contract . The tipping point may come when an increasing number of contractors simply run out of warm bodies because they have flat out depleted the supply of labor in their respective markets leaving them with the socioeconomic underclass and all the headaches they bring with them . In turn they decide to pick their poison. Sign a contract that requires the compensation that will keep people on those routes and in those trucks and take his chances with Fat Freddy meaning that he could lose his contract two different ways. Either be terminated by signing a contract or be terminated because too many boxes piled up undelivered and too many missed pickups. As I'm sure you know dmac the entire basis of the risks of contracting to Fat Freddy is that the contractor's investment has zero recognition inside the Fedex Corporation structure and a testament to that fact is found in the nature and terms of the completely one sided "take it or leave it "contract they have to sign. If the contractor's investment having zero representation isn't bad enough what's even worse that it's an investment that is completely unsecured. The people IWBF accuse of having "failed" much more often than not are people who failed per say but rather were no longer willing to put anymore money at risk . The economic strength of a contractor's service area varies widely between contractors, is only so strong and is only worth a certain size and amount of unsecured investment . [/QUOTE]
