[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 750227, member: 12508"] Express has aggressively been expanding service areas for several years. Given the FedEx penchant for profit, they wouldn't have done it if it wasn't a big money-maker. You can bet that the possibility of unionization was factored into the decision to expand. Another factor to consider is that transportation companies will continue servicing a rural area even if it is at a loss just so they can say they provide service to any point. This is a big deal for major shippers. If you take a loss on a few Amazon pkgs going to BFE, you'll more than make it up on the thousands of pkgs going to metropolitan ZIP codes. That's why this whole "argument" is a ruse on the part of FedEx. It's just an attempt to gin-up more support based on a fake issue. [/QUOTE]
