I guess Union Solidarity doesn't apply.

How is that question relevant to this discussion?

Referring to other threads that said Fed Ex had a 90% discount promotion to win freight from Yellow. What did UPS Freight do to win this freight. Was it extraordinary discounting or just the usual churn of customers playing one company against the other.

Are Union companies not allowed to compete against each other?

Does FedEx, Conway or any other non union company only go after union companies business? Of course not. Business is business, it has nothing to do with whether or not the company's employees happen to belong to a union or not. I don't know of any LTL company's sales reps that belong to a union.

I agree with 2631

Companies have always competed against each other without thinkig about union or not.

Now days every carrier sees that YRC is all but dead. They want to get the business before YRC shuts the doors.

Overnite is union but they have a deal just like NEMF. It is a puppet union that gives UPS Freight whatever they want.

The teamsters sold out the UPS pension so Hoffa could claim he organized a company.

Don't worry about union companies like Overnite they can slap the teamsters around at will.
