The UPS ground delivery guys are Teamsters. You got a problem with that? :-)

Fedex ground is independent contractors. I wonder if the guy in this classic video was an independent, or if he was just seasonal? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIsfBBx0GOs

Summary: they're an oligopoly. They don't care, they don't have to.

And I feel a little guilty whenever I think about this, because I believe in the right to union (or not), and I've read that the FedEx drivers don't get a very good deal. But man, I just don't have the social justice energy to withstand the poor UPS service, on the ground and on the web.
