Look at it from his point of view HH.
if he's a troll he's just doing what a troll does.
If he's a plant he's doing his job.
If he is a ground contractor, and we can pull off some miracle he has much to lose. His drivers would want more immediately if we were to unionize. This talk concerns him and his family too.
I have next to nothing to lose. If you pull off your miracle and as you suggest there is an immediate backlash from Ground drivers, FDX will obviously know about the sudden increase in labor market cost. It is a matter of a two week process to enter into renegotiation and address such concerns.
