Express employees who think they have a secure job are deluded. No union, at-will employment, and predatory management equals little job security.

“FedEx is the world’s largest air cargo airline,” he says. “But the concept of density drives the success of companies in our business and ultimately profitability and revenue per stop.
“When you look at the European density that TNT has built, it dramatically changes our operations. And it’s not just about Europe. The TNT acquisition has given us capabilities around the world that we’ll layer in with our own and immediately accelerate our international growth in a way that would have taken us much longer on our own.”

Right pal. As long as it's happen to the other guy. But your day's coming if it hasn't happened already. Here's a little fact that you clearly haven't been made aware of. We all get old and cannot work forever try as we may.

No strike clause is for suckers
........it is great that you are smart enough to site one isolated example and determine that's how everyone operates.
A month ago I was driving my bulk route and went to a large golf retailer. I pulled up and there were 25-30 boxes sitting on the dock in front of a closed door. I called the number to get someone to come open the door(like one is supposed to) and they came out saying wow you already dropped off a bunch. "Nope" I informed them, those are UPS labels. There response "oh my hell he did it again" (gets on the phone) "yeah, the ups guy just left all our boxes again without calling us".
I guess all you guys are a bunch of lazy turds that can't do the basics of your job!
Based on your logic of course

I had the same experience. Pulled up to a rural stop and they had a UPS delivered hunting stand in the drive. I went up, rang rhe bell and on my way back to the truck the lady opened the door and asked if it was too heavy to bring to the door. I said, "I don't know. It was here when I pulled up."

The opinions we have of Ground are based on the image that it presents to us via its drivers, contractors, and managers. If you don't like the conclusions we draw based on the image that is presented to us, present a better image.

Plenty of job security in the areas I'm associated with. Never seen a courier terminated for performance in my 10+ years with the company. Only performance-based discipline I've seen is for overlooks or an unexplainable amount of lates.

You act as if the Boeing employees have a bad deal.
In the end it be a question of who can get the job done in the correct manner and at the lowest cost. Whichever operating unit accomplishes that feat to them will go the benefits of doing so.
X gets a lot more than they pay for. Don't like the image? Oh well...
At a minimum, Ground has put much downward pressure on wages at Express. Express drivers know that they have little if any bargaining power as long as fedex has other drivers doing the same for less.

The only bargaining power we have at this point is turnover. Which seems to be keeping us above ground wages.
And if express does transfer more to ground, and look to reduce wages or increase productivity, it will be dog eat dog. Increasing productivity simply by reducing the number of workers and making everyone else do more is the same as a wage cut.

Or by integrating ground into Express achieves the same result.

Can't keep drivers handling mainly envelopes. A loaded P1000 would be the way to reduce turnover.Or by integrating ground into Express achieves the same result.
