[QUOTE="Ashell, post: 562467, member: 23726"] So I have asked around about 806 and this is what I have peiced together. UPS and FedEX are under 2 different transport types. The Teamsters control 1 type of transportation. The Union makes UPS's operation costs more. If FedEX was reclassified to like UPS, then the Teamsters could aquire FedEX employees. (increasing cost to FedEX) If FedEX was under the teamsters, they would strike. (increasing UPS business) I have been told that we have to have the union, and we don't have to have a union. We choose to have one, or not have one. Secondly, I believe there is a railroad union. Its just a matter of the teamsters don't get any of that money. I don't understand why UPS employees should care about FedEX pay rates, or health insurance. First off, in my area FedEX pays significantly more for package handlers. So if they are paying less, its to the drivers. Health insurance is also part of everyones pay, even though you may not see it on your pay check. I think this whole thing only shows that the teamsters work for UPS, and that they both are only interested in their own profit margin. You won't lose your job because of 806. If you lose your job, it will be because UPS is a mismanaged nepatistic company. The first thing you will hear out of anyone's mouth when you meet them is how long they have been there. It doesn't matter what they have done, or how hard they have worked, just that they have been there. Well what about the person that has "been there" and makes 20$ an hour while new people make 8.50. They do the same job... I can look at the reports and see they do the same volume with the same amount of missorts... Why not the same pay for the same job there??? Because that takes money out of UPS's pockets, not puts money into them. For everyone that has blindly written a letter, shame on you. [/QUOTE]
