[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 663823, member: 12508"] You still don't get it, do you? The "cavalry" as you call it, [I]must[/I] ride-in because FedEx has created an environment where so-called laws that protect those who advocate for unions are [B]meaningless. [/B]If you try to exercise your legal right to organize, you either get fired or harassed out the door...and they are extremely good at it. People aren't usually "simply happy to be employed". They want more...like opportunity for advancement, decent benefits, and a living wage that offers discretionary income rather than a paycheck-to-paycheck existence. Ground is already the former, and Express is almost there. The UPS driver, who makes about 40% more than I do for essentially the same job [I]has [/I]discretionary income that he/she can invest, buy a new Camaro(!!)with or just save in their mattress if they want. Guess what, my motivation is profit too, and Fred S has decided that my "profits" are going to be cut so his can rise. The union's message needs to be that they will actually fulfill their promise of advocating and providing a better life for the worker instead of being a dues-collecting organization that doesn't practice what they preach.
