[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 861675, member: 24302"] Yeah, yeah, yeah, FedEx is top heavy with topped out FTer's who've stuck with them. How is signing a union card going to protect my job? Seriously, if the RLA status is lost wouldn't they want to go to Ground as much as possible to eliminate the threat of the union? I love you guys who want to take personal shots but hindsight is always 20/20. I'm in no shape to make a change in my life and my goal was never to make enough to buy a nice home and car. Once they did what they did to the pension my focus has been to keep an eye on their next moves and how it will affect me and act accordingly. In case you haven't noticed not that many people stick their neck out here and ask questions and in case you haven't figured out why it's because some smug superior jerk wants to eviscerate them. Doesn't accomplish anything but I guess it makes you feel manly. One thing I'm not getting is your belief that attrition will reduce the workforce.
