[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 942275, member: 24302"] I think we said much of the same thing. If you are suggesting Ground's growth is due to companies wanting to control costs and maximize profit you won't get an argument here. As much as it hurts to be on the wrong side of the fence Express employees need to face facts that the business environment is changing, actually it's always evolving. There's still a place for Express but it's going to be scaled down as shippers move to low cost alternatives. And of course FedEx is going to fight tooth and nail to keep a union out as it would result in an anchor they'd be forced to drag around and limit their ability to grow in areas that meet customer demands. However like making sausage the process isn't pleasant and we employees have been on the receiving end of alot of B.S. in the last 15 years. Lying to us to accomplish their goals while we burn through many of our most productive years builds up alot of resentment. Ultimately they are saying that we only matter in what we can do for them, and if we have to sacrifice to make them successful then that's good enough for us. I think the twenty-something's are seeing this happening and already there's civil unrest because of it. We're not owed a great living but we don't want to be serfs either. Companies need to understand this and do everything they can realistically do FOR their employees, not TO them. But the guys in charge truly believe they deserve considerably more than the rest. So continue to push people while not offering healthcare, retirement, or paid time off, not to mention crap pay. It will bite you at some point. [/QUOTE]
