[QUOTE="705red, post: 567887, member: 5229"] [b]Re: UPS employees might be busy writing letters to their U.S. senators on behalf empl[/b] I am all for an employee to have the say to either join or not to join a union. Could the Teamsters use FedEx employees for members absolutely! In order for us current members to receive pension payments long after we are retired we need more current members paying into the pension. Now at the same time everyone sees what is going on with YRC and if YRC goes belly up, it will be very hard to encourage anyone to join a union. People will be scared and would rather take the security of knowing that they are working a lower wage job then not knowing if joining a union would cause them to lose their job. The UAW has been dismantled basically because they were to greedy, plus the cars they made were not as dependable as some imports. Think about this for a minute, if FedEx employees unionize and even if they go up about $2 or $3 dollars to about $25, $26 an hour at the end of this contract we will be at $32 and change an hour. How much more can we go up if our unionized rival is making less than we are? A full time FedEx driver makes similar hourly to what our part time air drivers make. Crap our part time air drivers make more then any YRC feeder driver. If they do join a union it would help to level the playing field, but at whose expense? UPS? The employees of UPS? Or the employees of FedEx? I guess only time will tell. But rest assured one way or another we will be in for a fight in our next contract. This is my opinion and my opinion only! [/QUOTE]
