[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 737691, member: 24302"] I agree with what you say, but to be honest I'd gladly take being topped out, and top-out bumped up a bit. I'm looking at it strictly from how long voting a union in will take and then even more time to negotiate. I'm on limited time, not looking at another 20+ years. I can certainly understand if younger workers want more, but for me if the company wants to keep a union out by offering us a better deal pretty quick I'll take it. If anyone says think of others, not just yourself, I'll just think of all those years in all those locations where I worked really hard and was openly resented by many coworkers for doing so. Alot of people want great pay without really earning it. I've earned it, and want better than I'm getting. I have to take personal responsibility too, I got frustrated and quit, should have hung in there. But I didn't expect the company to do what they've done, now asking them, for what good it'll do, to reconsider before it's too late and give us a better deal. A union may be our only option, but it doesn't have to be. Strictly up to FedEx at this point. I've said all I can say on the subject, from now on just going to do my job and hope for the best. Eventually I'll be gone, either because I reached 55, maybe later, or because the company, who knows who I am, will try to get rid of me for things I've pointed out here. But I have no more interest in fighting with them. Life is short, do what you must, but don't waste it. Vaya con dios, amigos! [/QUOTE]
