[QUOTE="fedupped, post: 1203536, member: 46366"] This is from 2009...who are you? interesting read...especially the part about many ups workers not wanting to be in a union. [B]Re: Discuss: UPS Employees Say They Were Forced to Lobby Against Fed Ex[/B] [INDENT]OldTimer is either a manager or has allowed himself to be blinded by the garbage spewed from the managers.

Unlike UPS, where drivers deliver both Air and Ground packages. Originally Posted by [B]639OldTimer[/B] What the Post also fails to mention is that there are thousands of Fed-Ex employees who are eager and willing to sign on as Union members to ensure a bettter life for themselves and their families. And there are thousands of UPS employees who would prefer to not be in the Union. Unions are there for one reason and ONE reason ONLY....to make money. There was a time when unions were a necessity, to protect the workers. But, not anymore. If there is a labor issue in a non-union shop, employees these days are very quick to file lawsuits. FedEx is a financially model company throughout the world. Can you name ONE other company that has been in business for 38 years and has NEVER laid off a single employee? Even in this economy, everyone from manager up to CEO has taken a pay cut to save money rather than lay off hourlys (hourlys pay wasn't touched). UPS's solution, lay off employees so the managers and above can keep there pay and bonuses. If a competing company comes to you and says you should do this or you should do that, it'll be a good thing for you. Would you believe them? Isn't a competitors job to put you out of business? UPS pushing Congress and the Senate to change FedEx's classification from RLA to NLRA, not to help FedEx employees, but to try and make more money for the Union and hopefully put FedEx out of business. Last, but most likely not least. It is ILLEGAL for anyone to pay anyone else to write their congressman/woman. Should this be found to be true, expect some big fines, not to mention the publicity nightmare it will cause. Have a nice day:happy:[/INDENT] [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
