[QUOTE="tworavens, post: 579000, member: 22946"] Last time I checked the Teamsters didn't determine the rates at UPS, rather they bargain contractual wages for the employees. It's up to UPS to figure out how to run profitably within that wage framework, and part of that profitability is setting the proper rate structure. Such would be the case at Fedex if they were unionized as well. Think of two competing unionized freight carriers competing for business. Are you suggesting that two such companies are colluding to keep rates artificially high? No, each company wants as much business as they can get, so that puts downward pressure on rates. [/QUOTE]
