[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 432972, member: 12508"] We need a union badly, but with the current economy Fred would most definitely retaliate with layoffs. I personally think it will be difficult to work out any sort of compromise with FedEx management. If we [I]do[/I] go union, the senior people will reap the benefits and the junior workers will be cut loose based on seniority. If we choose to stay non-union for the time being, I'm guessing nobody will be laid-off and we'll be working our minimums. Perhaps the Teamsters will wait until the economy strengthens before pushing their agenda. We've waited a long time for this, and now the sour economy gives Smith leverage he wouldn't have otherwise...go figure. [/QUOTE]
