[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1074432, member: 13921"] I really do not know what you expect us to do. UPS has a lobbying arm that has lobbied heavily to change the RLA so that FE would no longer be able to be called an airline. That failed, in spite of the fact that BOTH UPS and the union lobbied for the change. UPS lawyers have been accused of writing briefs for prosecutors in employee misclassification cases (specifically in Ohio and it would not surprise me if there were others.) UPS and the Teamsters have not won in either of these battles. Maybe it is time the FE employees do something for themselves. If you sit back and wait for others to change things for you, you will be sitting for a long time. UPS' most profitable item right now are air products and international products. There is very little profit in ground and even less with UPS' cost structure. We (UPS) is doing everything we can to improve productivity to keep out costs down. We are keeping up our end of the competitive bargain. It is time the FE employees start to carry their weight. [/QUOTE]
