[QUOTE="slantnosechevy, post: 1417675, member: 21514"] Didn't I say dream? LOL You really do have a reading handicap. For the record back in the '90's during an FedEx organizing campaign, 710 led the nation in signing up FedEx buildings. I believe they had 14 out of 16 bldgs. in the Chicago area signed and ready. More than anyone else in the country. The only reason it never flew was because a Federal judge ruled later that they would continue to be under the Railway Act. Not because what UPS spent (which was very minimal) it's what Fred spent. UPS has always wanted the Teamsters to spend their money on this venture. With the financial debt left from the Carey regime the Teamsters were pretty close to broke and didn't have the money then to take on such an expensive deal nationally a few years later. Timing is everything. Fred has skated on several things and someday it may or may not catch up with him. I know he has out spent UPS by a few billion over several years to stay in their comfort zone. Bottom line is UPS isn't worried about them or they would have done something a long time ago. The thing UPS hates is the difference in stock prices. Despite being a better run company UPS is a poster child for everything Wall Street hates. A union company that makes billions. [/QUOTE]
