[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4807056, member: 58386"] You'll continue to defend that hallowed institution called Express despite it's ongoing trek toward becoming a company completely unlike the one you once knew including it's growing dependency on cheap throwaway labor to which it holds little to none of the legal or moral obligations that you believe it once held.... What it once was is no longer. As for Ground, one thing has not changed.... page after page of job board ads posted by desperate contractors who demand too much pay too little. If their respective labor markets are sufficiently loaded with supplies of the kind of labor contractors have to depend on ... that's fine. But, judging by the ads not every local labor market is fulfilling those needs. Yes, at one time flipping letters for Fat Freddy was an honorable and of a sufficient degree of security and longevity to warrant making it your life's work . Today however, you're flipping letters for flipping burgers pay and it's only going to get worse especially if more competitors enter the space. And as we've discussed before.... Ground is not the friend of Express. It's the enemy of Express. Fat Freddy made it abundantly clear that cost reduction will come first and if applying the Ground model to Express to the fullest extent possible aids in that effort it will be used. [/QUOTE]
