[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 532940, member: 14940"] From what I see most of you are missing the point all togethor. My brother delivers Fed-Ex Ground packages, notice I dont say he works for Fed-Ex. He works for a sub-contractor and he gets paid less than a third that we do, gets NO benifits, NO vacation, and does not get paid by the hour or the piece. He is paid a flat weekly rate regardless of the hours he works, Im not going to argue the merits of our pay, but he should be getting paid a hell of a lot more than he gets now. The reason he is not "fairly" compinsated is that Fed-Ex injoys crooked laws that protect them and harm the worker. Unionization is not the answer but the "[U]threat[/U]" of unionization is. The Ground side of Fed-Ex is the only part of Fed-Ex that has any traction left, and ask yourself why. Its because of exploiting the Ground work force. I am amused how your argument is from the aproach that UPS is the CHEAT, but maybe you should examine the facts a little more and you will see the loop holes and special favor laws that Fed-Ex injoys. A free society should not only protect crooked companies but the rights of employees to organize if they so desire. Or is that the kindd of freedon that scares you. [/QUOTE]
