[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 533041, member: 18471"] It's so easy to tell someone to quit. Maybe he would if he didn't have financial obligations. The highest unemployment rates in how many years? Do you think if unemployment was 1 or 2% he wouldn't quit? Do you think if unemployment was 1 or 2% the sub-contractor he works for wouldn't pay better, offer benefits and other "perks" to get employees? Now unemployment is high, so the subcontractor can pick who he hires and pays as little as he can. Living the Dream, you ask why UPS and the Teamsters are the only ones who want to unionize FedEx. Did you ever think there were employees at Fedex that would welcome a union. Maybe they don't expess their feelings at work because of retaliation. Yes we all know retaliation is illegal, we also know there are ways around it. I have another question for you LTD, why are you working for UPS? Could it be the pay and the benefits? Why don't you go to work for Fedex? Fedex won one round in court, which will be appealled, they've lost how many other decisions about the "contractor model' previously, and have appealed those decisions. And don't think Fedex isn't spending how many millions of dollars lobbying, etc. [/QUOTE]
