In the many years I've worked for FedEx I have never been approached by either a Package Car Driver or Feeder Driver about going union, and I encounter at least 3 or 4 every day. If our people only knew how much better off they would be as Teamsters you'd be amazed at the level of interest, especially now as FedEx turns the screws even tighter and expects more performance for the same lousy money.
Over the last 10 years we've lost so many of our former benefits that it's hard to keep track, but the final insult came in when Fred (Smith, our "beloved" Fearless Leader) eliminated our traditional retirement plan in favor of a portable pension plan that will save FedEx millions and screw us blind (without lubrication).
A unionized FedEx would not only benefit UPS by leveling the playing field, but would add substantially to the power of the Teamsters, thereby increasing your negotiating power as well.
Think about it the next time you encounter a FedEx driver...Thanks!
