Lets examine this argument, we started on the benefits of working for UPS opose to the ones at FedEx. Well how about this, UPS employees are generiously compensated, FedEx employees are not. How ever both companies seem to make a handsome profit. So what I'm saying is apparently at FedEx the employees should just be lucky to have a pay check. You guys don't deserve anything else so don't even bother asking for it, unless of course you are a pilot.
My point is that I'm not saying that the union is the answer to every problem that exist, but by examining the situation with FedEx pilots, its easy to see that a union is apparently what you need. As far as layoffs and wage and benefit concessions, well news flash for you there are a heck of a lot more employees in non-union jobs taking them then union jobs. A recession effects everyone not just union companies.
FedEx reminds me of illegal alliens, instead of having the balls to fight their own corrupt government in Mexico, they would rather march in U.S. streets telling us how bad we treat them. Instead of FedEx employees trying to bring us down to them, why dont you see the forest through the trees, and see that your getting screwed by your OWN company!
