[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 733489, member: 24302"] I really doubt that a company that tap dances like crazy to avoid a union will make itself legally vulnerable by forcing PTer's to work past 30 if they turn all of us into PTer's. Either they say that FT is now anything over 30 and hold their mgrs accountable for keeping us all down to 30-32 except where it's unavoidable, or they make us part-time and hold us under 30. What's their incentive? They do contortions now to avoid paying double time. Time and a half at the much higher union wages is just as much or more. Do you think they'll want to pay $45hr to us to deliver pkgs? On a routine basis? If you are part-time there's no 4X10 shift, you'll get very high pay after 8. My guess is that they'll keep hiring part-timers until they have enough to cover everything efficiently. And if a union can get us much higher pay we'll see alot less turnover. Who'll want to give up a $30hr job that only lasts 5 to 6 hrs a day? But then again, if we manage to get that kind of pay, it'll probably start the clock on an all contractor workforce. FedEx will need time to work out the kinks, but eventually we will all either have to work for a contractor or move on to something else. At that point I believe FedEx will seriously decline, because anyone with something on the ball won't settle for $12hr and no benefits. [/QUOTE]
