FedEx is so bad that if they're the only shipping option for an online order, I go and find a different vendor.
It depends on the driver really. The guy on our route is great. The one for my mom is the worst.
With USPS and UPS it doesn't depend on the driver, they all get the job done and do so safely. Meanwhile I've almost been killed on my bike by FedEx drivers multiple times. Has never happened around UPS and USPS trucks. I once watched a FedEx driver pull up in front of my apartment and literally locked eyes with the guy before he pulled away again and my tracking updated to "package undeliverable". They're over-worked, under-paid, under-trained, and it shows.

It is absolutely not, but yeah being in a union could entice you to do better work. I wish I was.
Reasons why companies with union jobs might provide better services due to employees being more personable and reliable:
There are probably other reasons too, since I’m just going off the cuff here, but it absolutely makes sense to me that the company with non-union jobs in this industry provides the worst service.
