[QUOTE="Keystone, post: 1373202, member: 46850"] What you don't understand is, that like a union based operation, Fedex operates exactly the same without the benefits. Vacation time is still based on seniority, so don't expect to be taking your vacation in the summer months until you have a few years in. Then you can expect, stagnant pay and falling benefits without the ups (pun intended) of being in a union. I worked for a nuclear site as a contractor and we were union, so I understand what you are saying when you refer to unions. If I had it to do over I would have stayed after the six years I spent there. The pay and benefits were far more than I find in working without union protection. Unions have their downfalls, but by large they have MANY upsides. In my opinion you should have stayed with Coke, but I understand why you left. Same reason I left a 21 dollar per hour job that is now, thanks to the union, a 28 dollar per hour job. Like someone once said, youth is wasted on the young. Choose wisely and find something worthwhile as a career. It'll pay off in the end, and unfortunately fedex is not your solution. I don't say that condescendingly, I say that to help you in your career search. [/QUOTE]
