[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 705854, member: 12508"] During our last meeting with the director, someone asked why top-out times were so long. His answer was that it gave us "something to shoot for" in terms of our career progression and had nothing to do with the company saving millions. When I pointed out that UPS not only makes far more than we do, but that they top out in 3 years, there was an embarassing silence. His next response was the standard gibberish about following PSP and how FedEx didn't need a union because we were SO happy, and one of the Top 100 Companies to work for and on and on. After about 2 minutes of this BS, I simply asked why we werent simply allowed to vote non-RLA style so "we could just be done with this". Then I quickly added, "It isn't because you're afraid we'd actually vote [I]for[/I] a union, is it? By this point, the mood in the room was pretty ugly, so the MD got an "emergency" call on his cell phone and had to rush out of the room to take it. He never came back. Later that day, one of my buddies called me to say that he had seen the senior manager duck into an office and make the call that the MD had to take. They are scared. [/QUOTE]
