[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 724479, member: 24302"] That's assuming it'll ever get to negotiating a contract before he restructures the company. If he does, employees looking at 30-32 hrs a week will have no choice to vote for a union to get better pay. And that is if we still have permanent employees left who can unionize. I'm hoping just the ability to vote for a union will get us better pay, and then business as usual. On what are you basing your assertion that getting a union will give us much higher pay and much better benefits? Not being critical, just asking. FedEx doesn't conduct it's business the same way UPS does. It has higher costs per package and less profit. Isn't it the profit, the money that's left over, that will pay the comparable to UPS pay and benefits you desire? Is there enough to do that? I think they can top us out faster, but can they afford to bump me up from $17.09hr to $30hr plus great benefits? And 10's of thousands of others? These are questions that matter. Is FedEx able to do this? Could it possibly be that some would like to get a union in to hurt FedEx, if not bankrupt them, for revenge for what's been done? Don't get me wrong, I think they are greedy, don't really give a damn about us as long as they get their high stock price. But what good does it do us to ruin them? We have an administration that isn't business friendly. I don't see alot of opportunities if FedEx goes down in flames. Which they won't, they'll go contractor most likely, and once again Express employees will get screwed. The only good I can see in getting the NLRA designation is the possibilty that FedEx will give us better pay in a bid to keep the union out. If you can show me a better scenario than that which might actually happen I'd love to hear it. Or we can just ignor the 500lb gorilla in the room(the Ground scenario) and keep shouting for a union.
