[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 607305, member: 12508"] If you get your CTV 4 hours late, or not at all, you can overcome that? My point is that it wouldn't take very much to throw a wrench into the works. I've heard that coffee, water etc are available in some stations because the senior chose to pay for it themselves. FedEx the corporation has decreed that these type of services be stopped. Kudos to your manager if he's decided to buck the system. And Fred. Yes, I've met him too, and he seems cordial enough in person. I have no issue with him making millions of dollars [I]IF[/I] he deals squarely with us...and he hasn't. He just keeps on taking, and he needs to be stopped. He thinks we're overpaid as it is and I'm sure he'd like to take away more. Most of the perks that helped span the pay gap between us and UPS are long gone. Remember profit sharing? Or tuition refund before they modified it? I'm curious. Just what would you be giving up if we go union? Your stagnant wages, your wonderful PPP retirement plan? The only benefit I see being yanked is interline, and that's because Fred no longer would have to pretend we're an "airline". Gains? How about a true retirement plan, for one. And realistic top-out times (like 3 years) that don't stretch on for eternity. I'm not expecting to make as much as a UPS driver, but I would like more competitive pay and the end of the PPP. The pilots figured all of this out a long time ago, and Fred threatened to trample them too. He didn't, because he couldn't, and he'd have to bargain with us eventually or risk a major loss of his customer base for Express. [/QUOTE]
