[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1080890, member: 4886"] MilkMan... I appreciate the work the drivers do, heck I was one about 23 years ago. I am not aware of many (if any) large fortune 500 companies that doesn't spend money advertising. FDX advertises way more then we do, it has been shown that this helps to maintain and win new business. If it didn't, we would not spend the money. Yet somehow, because we advertise for busines, we should instead take that money and give it away to what is not contractually obligated. While at the same time, FDX air drivers make less and FDX ground drivers make way less then our drivers. I guess we have to agree to disagree. However whatever you or I think doesn't really matter. The issue is HW costs have gone up and as I said, I already pay 650+ month for HW and Flex spending Acct. I've been paying similar amounts (although rising) for many many years. How is it fair that for the last 1/2 dozen or more years an active mgmt person pays more for HW then a retired teamster. That makes no sense. If it were somewhat fair they would be the same. [/QUOTE]
