Default I guess Union Solidarity doesn't apply.

I heard that UPSF took another of YRCW's big accounts, Mo Valley Books. I guess FedEx isn't the only one on the attack.

In my opinion, it's a cut throat survival of the fittest game right now, where the price cutting is being done with our Non-union management and sales staff.
In the end, it's up to the customer to decide who they want to service them.

Default A cheapshot thread title

What does the obvious fact that rival companies compete for business have to do with union solidarity? Since when doesn't one company try and take business away from another company?

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.
