[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 405439"] I don[t see ground and express merging. As I am sure that everyone here realizes, Fred is consistently anti-union and needs to keep them separate in order to transform express to the contractor model. To merge the two would probably make unionizing a slam dunk. But if it is true that Fred is shifting express freight to ground he is essentially downsizing express and growing ground. If contracting is cheaper for Fred then employees, then why would he make contrctors employees. And why would any contractor want to be an emplyee getting paid as MrFedEx put it "$14 an hour and crummy benefits". Furthermore, would contractors really believe they would be better off with a union? There are a few terminals out east that I believe have voted in the union, but I doubt they have gotten a better contract because of it. Years ago some terminals in Michigan unionized and ended up getting the shaft. [/QUOTE]
