[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1096559, member: 24302"] No what we're putting on our big boy pants to resist is this notion that you know anything about what sales is doing beyond your immediate experience. You are the one claiming inside knowledge, you are the one who keeps bringing up conspiracies, and frankly you're the one who patronizingly tells us how the real world works as if we're naive simpletons. We are just couriers after all. We have no control over the direction the company takes. And it's no conspiracy to say that Fred S made sure of that with his "influence" in Congress. When there was a real threat to get a union in the '90's they came up with some serious adjustments in pay. By virtually eliminating the chance for a union now they've demonstrated their true feelings on paying decent wages and providing decent benefits. You, the shipper, may not care, but we who've worked hard for so long do care. And it's no conspiracy that now that they've got what they want nearly in place they are downsizing Express. That's not theory, they are saying they are going to reduce our workforce through attrition. They've closed stations. EVERYTHING points to an emphasis on Ground. Again, more power to them, but don't string me along for years, telling me I'll top out in 7 to 8 years when they had no intention to, telling me every year in the mail where my pension stands and what I will get if I stick with them. No skin off your back but this is what I was working towards. And about all I have to show for it is crappy insurance and a downsized retirement. You may not care but how can we not care? You don't want to acknowledge a corporate emphasis on Ground more power to you. They sold us out to take the company in that direction, and act like we should feel lucky that they gave us a job.
