[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 983450, member: 24302"] That's great that you've been able to do all that. A mid-range employee has to work good OT just to make what you do on 40. Most companies offer a 401k, and his 6% to get the match is less than yours. His Portable Pension Plan contribution is less than yours too so there goes having as good a retirement, not to mention if he got anything on the traditional pension before the termination it was minimal. But he does have to pay as much for the healthcare in spite of making less. The thing is that most of us are fine with having to work a certain period of time to catch top-out as long as it's reasonable. But we never will so we have to be willing to accept considerably less than what you got in order to stay with FedEx. And now it looks like after all those years of sacrifice, hoping FedEx would finally come through with a better deal for us, have been wasted. We'll have to see what happens, but will you tell your station's mid-range employees who've worked long hrs for quite a few years now that they should be happy that they're at least getting 35 hrs a week and 3% raises? And possibly having to take long splits to get that 35? [/QUOTE]
