[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 955187, member: 24302"] Some pretty good explanations in other threads. By shifting as much to Ground as possible they eliminate Express overtime. Since Ground drivers are paid less with no overtime or other benefits the profit margin is considerably higher per pkg than those shipped through Express. There's a need for Express service, but alot of freight just needs to get delivered in a reasonable time rather than pay the much higher cost of overnight or even 2 or 3 day. So less Express, more Ground, means higher profits for the corporation. And based on their actions it appears the company feels they can mess with us, within reason, if it increases profit. That's within reason to them, obviously employees feel differently about it. [/QUOTE]
