[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1102733, member: 24302"] No I haven't. What you aren't seeing is that they aren't producing enough profit yet to pay Express much better. They will in time but if they paid Express much better while leaving the Ground guys at much lower pay then you'd have people at Ground quitting in anger. Someone posted a thread asking what if FedEx was to top everyone out could they? I pointed out it would most likely take most of their current profit to do that which no one responded to because no one wants to hear that it won't happen, just figure out how to make it happen. The only way FedEx can pay UPS comparable pay and benefits is if FedEx becomes as large as UPS and ships most freight by truck. Until that happens the best Express can hope for is a little higher top-out and an accelerated path to top pay, maybe 10-15 years. It won't happen because management in this company wants those profits for themselves and shareholders and are determined to wring it out of the employees. A union won't get you UPS pay, and it's highly unlikely you'll get a union anyways. Prepare yourself for this reality instead of putting all your hopes in the Teamsters. We had a much better chance in 2010, and got beaten by Fred's millions. [/QUOTE]
