[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1069011, member: 43436"] It's an article from the August 13 issue of Fortune Magazine. The article is from a reputable source. And many years ago, I worked at a grocery store and Hostess products were delivered by multiple drivers -- so I have no reason to question the claim. Or maybe it's an emblem of a company battling/giving in to a powerful unions? You know, like ones capable of shutting it down? Employee compensation was a much larger factor at Hostess than its competitors. The reference is totally fair since FedEx Ground isn't governed by the RLA. The reason FedEx hasn't made such bold move is because status quo UPS is in a much stronger position to survive a brutal price war -- which could easily bankrupt FedEx if things went terribly wrong. But they may not be in that position in the near future, hence UPS's effort to push difficult-to-replace value-added services to its operation. [/QUOTE]
