Update.

Bbsam and Northbound will be passing out union cards to all Express employees tomorrow morning at selected stations near you. Watch for them at curbside near the entrance. They'll both be wearing T-shirts with pictures of themselves.

This is their lifelong dream everybody, don't you miss it!

Be a waste of time. Nobody at Express has ambition enough to sign cards and turn them in .

That's because everyone will keep on driving when they see it's you standing there.

Ground people can't bathe or read maps. Express people don't know how handwriting works, It's on the wall.

Glad to see you acknowledge that ground people don't bathe or read.

Sure. I was essentially a Ground driver for the first few years when it was RPS. It was a definite step up from cab driver. What I would encourage them to do is learn a bunch of routes, show up early and stay late. Learn the business from the Ground up. In time, if Fedex is not for them, they have a damn good paid internship to put on a resume. People can "settle" in any job. I don't want my kids to ever settle. Always move forward and set new goals. Do that and it will be hard not to have great self worth and success.

I'm not trying to be confrontational, I don't know how many drivers you have, but what is the percentage of your contractors that are taking your advice? How many do you think will eventually be able to do your job or a job similar to yours? How many of your or similar jobs are available to those that qualify? How many more contractors could you hire without having to hire more management help? Would this worsen the odds of contract drivers being able to move up or better themselves? As the business grows, don't you need more drivers to "show up early and stay late"? Is every worker that learns the business from the ground up going to have room at the top?

I keep seeing that with an infusion of Ground people around here, you Express folks sure seem to be a bit crotchety. Why? Secret meetings not going as well as planned?
