[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 635014, member: 12508"] All Express workers are true employees, with benefits (lousy), decent job security, and a pretend pension plan (the PPP). Ground drivers are all contractors, with no benefits at all. I don't know the arrangement for hub and sort center employees at Ground. Believe me, some of us are trying very hard to get a union over here, and management is trying even harder to keep it out. While I fully understand that there are still plenty of BC members who resent any purple presence on this site (including some moderators), I think we have a lot more in common than you might think. Please remember, that FedEx Express shamelessly copied most UPS policies verbatim, hired a bunch of ex-UPS managers to run it, and then duplicated [I]your[/I] ground system with FedEx Ground. In my 20+ years at FedEx, I have had about a dozen managers who were ex-UPS. In my case, I've actually worked for UPS, so I can say (IMO) that, other than the union, the differences aren't that vast.
