[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 797242, member: 12508"] Let me add one more thing. I take it you tend towards the Right, which is fine. What I cannot ever understand is how someone who works very hard for a living in a unionized job, supports the Right. A major part of their agenda is criticizing or advocating the end of unions, as in unions are the root of all that is evil and wrong with our system. If we did it their way, the Smith and Davis types in this world would be even richer, and you'd be in the same boat as us...no rights, substandard pay, and zero ability to do anything about it. I believe you're a package car driver and also an occasional feeder driver, which means you're a Teamster. I've done the UPS feeder job, and it's actually [I]easier[/I] than the equivalent RTD job at FedEx, yet you make way more per hour. The discrepancy is even worse if you compare package car to FedEx courier. The [B]only[/B] reason you have a good compensation package is the fact that you are unionized. Yes, the IBT is far from perfect, but how would you like to have no retirement plan, low wages, and a complete inability to fight back? That's what the Right wants, and you support that? That doesn't make any sense. [/QUOTE]
