[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1264447, member: 12508"] e Please pay attention. What we do is not related to the global economy other than the fact that FedEx gets revenue from foreign countries to provide services. Our Traditional Pension went away in 2008 for one reason...[B]greed. [/B]The old plan wasn't especially good anyway, and I'll get less than half of what a career UPS driver will get at retirement. Newer employees will get far less with the PPA, which is an annuity, NOT a retirement plan. It sounds like you've bought fully into the GOP worldview that says we have a "new reality" and that you should be content making $14 per hour with crappy benefits and a lame 401k. bbsam, and others like him love to perpetuate the idea that we can do nothing about it. In other words, we are all doomed to be Ground drivers or something just as bad. What's not said is that bbsam, Fred S, and the other non-hourly people are doing just fine, thank you. They make bank when you're passive and willing to work for less than you are worth. Our job compares most closely to UPS, and with the current demands for SPH, we aren't far off their level of work. But you are getting less than half their wage if you are a relatively new Express employee, and those wages won't rise very much at all. Also, when Rajiv, and Juan, and Wang can come here on work visas from their home countries and do your job, then the global economy has a direct impact on how you should be compensated. That isn't going to happen, so don't buy Smith's and bbsam's Big Lie. [/QUOTE]
