The absolutely beautiful reason that I can tell that they still aren't agreeing to Fords concessions is because they in solidarity with new workers that don't even exist yet, are demanding that Fords new battery plants they are building be placed under the same labor agreement they are fighting for.

"The UAW, according to Ford officials, has taken a hard line on requiring the company’s four new battery plants be placed under the terms of the labor agreement."

Exactly, I strongly prefer UPS as a delivery service (I can’t tell you the last time I intentionally used fedex). I actually trust USPS more than fedex, frankly.

    FedEx has messed up deliveries the last several times I've used them. Either things are broken, or they sneak up to the door and leave a notice that they missed you without ever ringing the bell and then run off. That last one is really weird. They're already there, what's the point of this? I've seen them on camera walk up, put the sticker on the door, and leave. No package in hand, no knock, and no doorbell ring. Why!

    Maybe its faster for them. Like they don't want to wait for someone to get their pants and finally get to the door, or they assume no one is home and just want to get on with the next delivery. At the same time the fedex system shows that they made the visit to your home and that is good enough for their boss. I really don't know but that's my theory, perhaps a fedexer will enlighten us.

    Wait... FedEx or FedEx Ground? Maybe it's because I'm in Canada but I've never had a good experience with UPS or any of its drivers. While FedEx has been nothing but amazing.

    FedEx Ground however is a steaming pile of shit
