[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 916963, member: 9500"] Be careful about falling into the trap of thinking that the way things are is the way they will always be. Union workers like us generally make 30% more than non-union workers in the same industry. Taken another way, that means [I]labor at non-union companies like Fedex is 30% cheaper.[/I] While there isn't a current 30% price gap between the two services this may not always be. To ensure a better future for us at UPS it is in our best interest to unionize our competitors to narrow this gap (and at the same time bring them up to our standards of wages and benefits). Everyone should help by talking about their excellent wages and benefits they enjoy because of the Teamsters negotiating efforts at UPS whenever interacting with non-union workers such as Fedex employees. That simple act can make the difference in how someone perceives a Union vs. Non-Union workplace. Don't say "UPS gives me a great pension" but instead say "The Teamsters negotiated us an excellent pension." [/QUOTE]
