[QUOTE="ducky13swing, post: 111609, member: 6028"] Let's compare the two driving positions: UPS-Union, no one is happy, and everyone is underpaid FedEx-No union, no one is happy, and everyone is underpaid UPS-2 million packages a day FedEx-200,000 packages a day (VOLUME IS ESTIMATED BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOOK IT UP RIGHT NOW) UPS-All vehicles covered by a team of mechanics. FedEx-Drivers have to maintain their own vehicles. UPS-UPS provides the pacakage cars, and drivers complain that they are stuck in an old P1000 FedEx-Drivers have to lease their package cars. UPS-Car washers fuel the package cars for the drivers. FedEx-Drivers have to pay for their fuel. UPS-drivers get paid an hourly rate. (Yes and sometimes they may be overdispatched.) FedEx-Drivers have to purchase routes from FedEx. UPS-Drivers are employees, excellent benefits package Fedex-Drivers are independent contractors. In other words, Self-Employed. Don't like big brown, there are alternatives. I bet the APWA could get some FedEx employees to sign up. Afterall, every union could use new members. Do you really think FedEx could be survive if unionized? The way I see it, FedEx would be another one of those temporary contributors to the Multi-Employer Pension Plan, who will be getting a portion of your pension because I would guarantee they would be out of business within 5 years if the IBT were to get in there. There are a lot, and I mean a lot, of good things that the Teamsters have done for UPS employees, but you have to admit that there is a lot of BS that is also coming from the the IBT. So you take a union with package experience and institute it into a company who has the safety and harassment picture as they do, well let's just say 5 years survival is optimistic. [/QUOTE]
