[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4685346, member: 24302"] And how exactly right here right now is that going to pay enough to give couriers UPS comparable pay and benefits? Last figures I saw, and that was some time ago, FedEx was a $56 Billion revenue company and almost half of that went to payroll. The next biggest expenditure was fuel. After that and everything else was paid for back then they had a bit over a billion in profit. If percentages are roughly the same now, but more profitable due to Ground, and you're wanting to top out everyone much faster with UPS comparable pay, you're probably looking at close to $15 Billion extra a year, maybe more. And that's just for Express employees. What about their having to pay more over at Ground to attract drivers too? And we aren't even talking yet about much better benefits at Express. I get the anger. They ran over us to get the money to build up Ground. But let's be honest, the money isn't there with the company as is. The company playing games with the new pay plan sure isn't helping either. [/QUOTE]
