[QUOTE="Winger, post: 329481"] Just a correction for MrFedEx - Fred S was not "forced to negotiate" with the pilots because they threatened to strike just before peak. Fred warned the pilots that if they went on strike they would never come back to work. He set up contingency plans with commercial airlines and railroads. His letter to the pilots is now in textbooks in every business school in the country. The pilots not only backed down, but decertified their union and started their own in-house union. This was actually a great show of solidarity by the pilots who told their former union, "we want to be represented but we don't want you to ruin our company." I don't disagree with much that is contained on this board, but we don't need to "spin" stories to prove the point. [/QUOTE]
