[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 602112, member: 12508"] No, not yet. So far it's been a tremendous success. That could all change if the legal issues don't go the way Fred would like. Your post seemed to suggest that Airborne went away because of the Teamsters. If Ground IC's become "employees" will you blame Fred (management) or yourself and fellow IC's? In my mind, it's all on management, because they created the system and rules under which the IC's operate. The point you always seem to miss is that this whole Ground concept was why Smith bought RPS in the first place. Roadway, and then Caliber, were not taking full advantage of their operating system. Fred saw that by applying FedEx Express operating rules and procedures to RPS, he could make an incredible profit. The only problem is that said rules and procedures apply to [I]employees[/I] at Express, one of the most rigidly controlled organizations in the world. That degree of control, even if it's applied to contractors, makes them [I]employees as well. [/I]This is the big reason FedEx will eventually lose in the court system. [/QUOTE]
