[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1066387, member: 12508"] Let me educate you too. The larger issue for Republicans is killing-off unions by drying-up funding. RTW accomplishes this. Also, maybe $15 per hour isn't so bad in Arkansas or Tennessee. But that same company is going to pay that same wage at it's facility in CA or New York. Not so good. As you keep lowering the bar and aiming for the bottom, you're actually undercutting your own job in the process. If FedEx Ground, for example, takes enough market share from UPS, Big Brown won't be able to afford the high wages that it pays. There won't be enough profit to pay for it. Of course, this is the beauty of your "free market" at-work, right? Eventually, in the race for the bottom, we'll get there, and UPS will fill your cubicle with someone cheaper. Same for the package car drivers. That would be great, huh. Conservatives only think short-term profit, not long-term consequences. That's why they are ignorant. [/QUOTE]
