[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3554718, member: 58386"] Employee drivers of ISP contractors are entitled to collective bargaining. However if the employees of an ISP were to vote to go union XG would almost immediately terminate the ISP's contract and reassign his or her routes to another contractor.In addition with Fedex Ground being the transportation industry's most profitable company with trucking as it's core with net operating margins more than double the industry average, XG's business model by design can quickly snuff out any efforts to organize and they most definitely will With the UPS/IBT labor contract to expire July 31 it will be fun to watch the unfolding events over the next 2 months especially July. If there were to occur a nationwide volume shift to XG as some fear and combined with the usual busy July when school supplies start rolling in ISP could be under heavy pressure to acquire the additional assets at a time when the supply of cheap labor in some markets as well as the supply of rental trucks could be stretched to a breaking point. So tell your nephew the time to get extra machines and manpower lined up is now. Overall contracting for XG is quickly becoming an impossible situation and if he's nearing the point of having had enough then remind him that his contract and routes will never be worth more than they are right now.
