[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 515659, member: 12508"] UPS is much bigger than FedEx, and UPS has cash, lots of it, where Fred has debt. Those of you who know about the RLA are smart because you know how much it means to UPS....a level playing field that will push FedEx rates up and volumes down. That's why UPS has sunk miilions into lobbying for the end of the "Express Carrier" exemption. Unions are not perfect by any means, but they serve the same purpose they did when management got out of hand back in the 1930's...giving the workers a chance to come together in force to negotiate a better deal for themselves. If we go union, Fred will eventually have to come to the table and bargain, just like he did with our pilots. Comparing the UAW and the Big 3 with the FedEx scenario isn't valid because there are few, if any similarities. Find a better example of a union bringing down an industry, because Big 3 management blew it, not the UAW. Stop believing everything Beck and Rush tell you to think about unions and look at the facts. [/QUOTE]
