[QUOTE="quadro, post: 578438, member: 12850"] Just because I choose not to post doesn't mean I haven't been around. You know this was a pretty good discussion but then you resort to an ad hominem argument. Why? Because you don't have the facts to support your story? What's wrong with respecting other peoples opinions and acknowledging that each and every person needs to make decisions based on facts and what's best for them? Not what some misinformed person thinks is best for everyone. I am far from conversant in actuary standards so I have no idea if your 15% number is right or wrong. If I have time I'll have to look into that. What I do know is that I am not wrong about the 5%. Please, just research how the PPP accrues and you'll see that it's a graduated scale based on how old you are and how many years you've worked at FedEx. I never said the PPP was so good. What about employees who had 24 years or 23 years, or 17 years? Depending on how much longer they work for FedEx, they could come out ahead too. Again, it depends on the individual and there are a lot of individuals that fall into this group. You can't possibly know what would have and what wouldn't have happened and neither can I. What I do know is that if the non-AGFS employees wanted a union there is nothing stopping them. I also know that the ERISA change meant that FedEx would have had to come up with a payment in excess of $1Billion and that was, as you noted, before the latest economic difficulties. Just think how much that payment would have been this year. So thanks for proving my point on that one. Straw man argument. FedEx employees are smart enough to communicate and if enough wanted representation, they would have it. The simple fact of the matter is that no union can justify the cost of a full campaign while FedEx is under RLA because the odds aren't in their favor. Again with the ad hominem attacks. Why can't I just be an informed FedEx employee? Or are you saying there are no informed FedEx employees other than salaried shills? I don't presume to know what is best for anyone other than myself but I take the time to get the facts and understand them. If someone wants my opinion of what I think would be good for them, I'll gladly talk with them to try and understand their situation and let them know what I would do in their shoes. That could very easily be something different and in opposition to what I want for myself. I won't however disrespect them or make fallacious assumptions about them. [/QUOTE]
