[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 581988, member: 22880"] Ethics is a bit too large in scope to adequately relate to what we are attempting. Like you asserted, ethics aren't necessarily universal. What I believe to be acceptable conduct may be a higher standard than your beliefs. You have hit on an important issue regarding compensation levels though. The quality of individual that will be attracted to a wage, increases in direct proportion to the wage being offered. I'd never work for Ground wages, I'm not happy with Express wages. Express is getting the quality yet not paying for it right now. Some of us would like to change that. With a higher wage being offered, employers can raise the standards for the potential employees. Unions know this and this is why the model works. Union members by necessity have to meet a higher standard to justify the increased compensation they are receiving. Express Couriers, RTDs and Mechanics have no problem with meeting a higher standard, we already do. We want the compensation levels that go along with that higher standard. Yes, Ground drivers deserve better wages. With a better wage rate, better quality employees will offer themselves for employment. You'll still get drivers, you'll be able to raise your standards and FedEx would be able to maintain the high quality levels which it made a market for itself with years ago. Quality has a price. FedEx isn't paying right now. [/QUOTE]
