[QUOTE="olcc, post: 605811"] A contract would force FedEx to pay market wages. I guarantee you they would increase based on the fact that both UPS drivers and postal workers make more than Couriers. Consider our work somewhere between the two, and you do the math. There's this incredible (and irresponsible) fantasy that FedEx can't afford to pay any more than they do now--that even giving us our raises this year would have pushed us over the edge. Give me a break! FedEx is an extremely profitable company. In our meeting last month, the senior told us the average yield (profit) on an international shipment (average of letters and packages) is almost $50. How many of those do you pick up in a day? If the answer is three or more, chances are you've paid almost your whole day's wages. Look at all they provided in the past--wages, benefits, pension, etc.--when they were a much smaller company. Are you telling me with a straight face that any increase in wages would be unsustainable for the corporation? This is the sort of misinformation that prevents any concessions to the hourlies. How about a little appreciation for the employees that bring in 65% of the revenue for the WHOLE corporation? [/QUOTE]
