Re: Don't be evil Realize you're getting FedEx's hyperbole, the way they want you to.
UPS is profitable. So, it's definitely hyperbole to say USP is being "bailed out."
I've read a little about this dispute. If what I've read is true, FedEx looks like they're the ones with an image problem. Their drivers are independent contractors who FedEx doesn't have to pay Social Security or benefits.
This all seems to originate from FedEx's original corporate structure as an airline, not a ground-delivery service. (And, exacerbated by UPS getting into express delivery using its own air fleet.).
A good overview here.
I'm not a big fan of labor unions. Nor any type of fan of UPS. But, there's more to it than FedEx's depiction. The two companies are governed by different laws due to their origins, which neither company resembles today. One could say FedEx is the unjustified beneficiary of this imbalance, and UPS has a legitimate interest in leveling the playing field. |
