[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 81952, member: 2193"] monte, Keep your stories straight. On 3/3 you posted "When UPS went on strike years ago, Fedex did not use that as a marketing tool." Now it's "If Fedex sales (does infact) remind customers what did, and could happen in the future as part of a sales pitch, does that make it wrong??" Do you still claim that Fedex did not, does not and will not use the threat of a Teamster strike as a marketing tool? Oh yes, you still seem not able to answer a question about something you said. OK, I'll ask again...Please post what the "last, best and final offer" was and what the final contract was. How, specifically, did UPS not negotaite in "good faith?" How are offers of profit-sharing and a more lucrative pension program not "good faith?" "Remember when UPS could walk into a customer and say "if you give us all of Fedex's air packages, we will give you a larger discount on your ground shipments". That was UPS capitolizing on a opportunity." Actually, it is capitalizing on a unique strength UPS has that Fedex does not-a single, unified network. As much as Fedex likes to give the impression of one network. it's still seperate Express and Ground divisions with two different drivers and two different invoices and two seperate systems. A UPS network advantage and system benefit is not the same thing as Fedex fear mongering ("you better switch now just in case...I can't help you later if you don't do something now"). That approach has "used car salesmen" all over it ("act now! What do I have to do to get you to buy today?"). [/QUOTE]
