The writing is on the wall for Fedex and DHL. Amazon is a 21st century "disruptor" with vast funding on tap, who will set up a freight operation larger than either Fedex or DHL - and then compete with both as a freight agent for other clients, who need freight moved at low cost. By carrying freight for others, Amazon can reduce their own freight costs.
Of course, Amazons track record shows that anyone who is employed by them, is expected to work for minimum rates, to ensure maximised Amazon profits.
Amazons total "Big Brother" control of employees is classic ruthless corporate behaviour, and Amazon job security is non-existent.
