[QUOTE="quadro, post: 807966, member: 12850"] As is what I say. Where I have verifiable facts, I point them out. I don't say that someone with their first post "gets it" just because it backs up what I claim. If I'm not mistaken, you are FT. You have told us on more than one occasion that you only work at FedEx for the benefits as investments are your primary source of income. The only real benefit difference between FT and PT is short-term disability. Perhaps that's the benefit that's most important to you but that coverage can be purchased outside of FedEx. What I don't understand is why, if FedEx is such a crap company to work for and doesn't meet your needs, why you say it meets your needs? At the very least, and if STD isn't the most important benefit to you, why wouldn't you just go part-time so you don't have to put up with as much crap? More importantly, why wouldn't you just go work for a company that treats you better and has the benefits you need? This is not the same old "if you don't like it go elsewhere" argument. That stance often doesn't work for people because they are in it for more than just the benefits. As you've stated that's all you're in it for, it seems that you are not restricted in that choice the way others may be. I live and work in one of the 10 largest cities in America. There are things that I don't agree with but as I've said, I don't post on every subject so you are reading into it what you want to get out of it. I would bet that you know less than 1% of the 20+ year employees. so your anecdotal evidence is just that, anecdotal. As is mine, but I don't pretend that it's a statistically significant sampling. I thought Boeing 777's were aircraft. I thought Boeing 757's were aircraft as well. Did FedEx not just by several of each? I thought that those things with 4 wheels and doors were vehicles. Did FedEx not by a few thousand recently and are buying several thousand more this year? $25 million might buy several hundred vehicles but it doesn't buy one 777 and I don't think it buys one 757 either. So go ahead and have a vote, nothing is stopping you. It's now easier under the RLA. You don't even need everyone to vote. In fact, it's probably better that way from a union perspective. Get a vote organized in a handful of large cities where you just know you'll get yes votes and you are all set. Right? No more "it's too difficult to organize a national vote".
