[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 783597, member: 12508"] Agreed, which again makes my point that FedEx is doing everything possible to make Ground as ruthlessly efficient as Express [I]without[/I] having any "employees" who deliver packages. That means Express-style management and personnel tactics, and an ever-increasing focus on productivity at all costs. It also means that the big cheeses in Memphis over at Express are the ones that really run Ground. FedEx has done this with every company they have ever bought,and it goes just like this: 1. Buy the company and lie to the workers about the incoming takeover by the Borg (Express management in MEM). 2. Eliminate as many managers from the former organization as possible and bring-in former Express managers. 3. Get rid of "problem" employees, especially those that are pro-union. 4. Dismantle existing policies and procedures and begin implementation of FedEx Express style anti-union, anti-people policies. 5. Introduce new Express-style tracking and delivery technologies and start pushing employees for increased efficiency for the same pay. 6. Begin Express-style OSS-type engineering studies to further increase efficiency and continue the elimination process for former employees. 7. Continue implementation of Express standards, and reinforce anti-union policies through fear and intimidation tactics. Eliminate or target anyone pro-union or anyone who exhibits group leadership abilities that aren't in-line with Express protocol. The Borg that is Express will continue to grow and fester at Ground. The trick for Fred is to try and continue to pretend that the company is really run by independent contractors, not Memphis. Get ready for some real fun. The harder they push, the less you are "independent" and more like employees. The ISP model will eventually wind-up being challenged in court too, as FedEx exerts even more control than they already have. [/QUOTE]
