[QUOTE="fedx, post: 5305895, member: 64891"] You're right in your assessment. FedEx needs to do what you suggest-a big pay increase to entice people to work there. Also merge Ground and Express into Express and become like UPS. However, we are talking about FedEx. I'm afraid they will go with the contractor model in the end, to save a buck today, but lose a ton of money in the future. We'll first hear about this new merger and contractor model on the news. Then when you come to work the next day we'll be told how our jobs are being shifted over to Ground and the contractor will be your new employer. All to "keep FedEx competitive in this job landscape." And that will be the beginning of the end of FedEx as not enough people will want to work a back breaking job for a contractor making fast food wages (like Express) and no benefits at all. Then it will be on the news how FedEx's stock is sinking due to not making service levels and eventually they'll be bought out by a Wall Street hedge fund. Eventually FedEx will become like how DHL is in the US. DHL used to be a competitor, but now they are nothing. [/QUOTE]
