[QUOTE="Exec32, post: 3491494, member: 56206"] I do agree they want to establish command and control, or more specifically retain it. I'm sure you can agree with increased exposure it is becoming more complex for Fedex to manipulate these arrangements. It was relatively inexpensive for X to resolve the lawsuits, however I think you miss the point. They lost. Who will stop them? Not who, but who and what. Who... Mounting lawsuits, DOJ, Federal and state labor departments, the public at large, choice in competition all will play a role in the decline of this model being used and X being a preferred service. What will do it... The continued loss of competitive advantage associated with the model. Competitors are using this same model. Damage to Brand, more significant than any other. Reduced ability to control, in contrast to customer demands. Have you seen the trucks and drivers in your community. FedEx has become the ghetto provider. Improvements in the economy and job market will reduce the available cheap labor. X will continue to demand more for less, contractors will take short cuts and avoid investing in expensive equipment, and the results will.continue to reflect on FedEx in a negative way. The Brand is not what it once was. I'm sure you can agree to some of that. This will take some time, but I'm sure the goons in Nashville have already accounted for this. They will fill the coffers until the plug is pulled, by themselves or the market. In other words this is not a long term viable plan that X can continue to pursue as a fortune 500 company. [/QUOTE]
