Van we agree a lot but this is almost humorous to hear you take the company side when they made millions and billions wort of profit while giving you breadcrumbs and continually took benefits away from the workers, those poor poor executives I bet they coud barely survive the last couple decades on steak and caviar, while they handed you guys less than 1% raises for decades lol. Again I was privy to what was going on with the Teamsters at that time, and at no time did we think you would get the exact same wages. As a matter fact, our biggest selling point that we were trying to push for guaranteed raises and job security. We were telling people, then that’s some thing like what is happening now what eventually happened and we will called crazy and that I never would happen.
@bacha29 said he was not trying to defend the Obama administration while he defended them. And then explain to me that they were not in power until 2008, which is true but these deals were made way before he was president and promised as soon as he got in the office, he lied about all of it. And funny, he would use the 2008 downturn in the economy at some reason not to remove Railway act protection. Even if it was removed, the Teamsters would still have had to convince FedEx employees to join. It only would’ve even the playing field making it so we did not have to get the entire country at once, which is basically impossible.
