[QUOTE="floridays, post: 5388201, member: 68849"] I'm speaking with an illustration we all can understand. You have to punch the bully in the nose and when you hit him hard enough to where he backs down or worries if it is worthwhile to continue an attack. Nationwide, Fedex ground cannot stand a two day shutdown by it's contractors without doing irreparable damage to it's brand. They cannot offer the excuse that the shutdown or delay of service is an act of God. The day you walk shippers will look for a different alternative for their shipping needs. They will understand FedEx Ground is not a reliable shipper. It's just my opinion, I may be wrong, but I doubt it. If you don't dot the bully's nose he remains, always to his benefit, and when he wants to exercise it, he will. If contractors prevail, don't be a bully to your employees. That's just my point of view. [/QUOTE]
