[QUOTE="Northbaypkg, post: 4730810, member: 58387"] A lot of retired UPS drivers collecting fat pensions would beg to differ with you. I'll agree that the 97 strike did allow FedEx to gain some market share. But from an employee at UPS standpoint it also forced UPS to create a lot more full time jobs that they wouldn't have made otherwise. So it was a victory for the union and employees. I know you only care about yourself so you don't see it that way. I didn't say union wages make better workers. I said those wages allow them to KEEP better workers. And look at what I'm writing, I said 'from what I see in my area'. In my area I see a lot of turnover with FedEx ground. If you're not struggling for workers that's great for you. But be honest, what's the longest you're able to keep a good driver before he leaves? What's the average length of time a driver works for you? [/QUOTE]
