[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 736806, member: 12508"] If that's the attitude of senior management, then they're going to have their hands full. It's delusional to think that Open Door/GFT and all the rest of the acronyms are going to convince most people they don't need a union. You sound like a decent manager, but I don't think being one is going to make much of a difference either. Even with all of these wonderful "benefits" and safeguards in place, we've still been treated like crap by FedEx, a point you don't seem willing to acknowledge. Not everyone wants to be a manager, especially from an ethical or lifestyle perspective. The fact that you chose management doesn't give you a free pass to insinuate that we don't deserve a substantial raise. I used to out-earn my managers every year, mainly due to lots of OT and a willingness to work whenever necessary. In a lot of locations, you're lucky to get 40 hours because of all the part-timers, and if you're a low to mid-range employee, forget about making decent money anyway because at $15 per hour, you'll be lucky to crack 40K as a full-timer. What a joke. Combine lack of opportunity, too many part-timers, extended top-outs, and a non-pension, and you've just created the perfect recipe for a unionized company. Nobody at the top thinks there's even a problem according to you, so why is it that Fred has spent $21 million so far just to lobby for his RLA exemption? Again, if this is such a great place to work, just drop the exemption and allow employees to unionize on a location by location basis, OK? Quit wasting the corporation's money on Brownbailout.com and Iamfedex.com and get on with it. Put the top execs and pilots under the PPA while you're at it so they don't miss-out on the same retirement opportunities we have.
