[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5886003, member: 24302"] The company gave us decent pay and benefits for awhile. There was serious talk of a union in '97 but the company finally after 4+ years came up with significant raises for topped out starting in '98 and all that fell apart. At the same time we found out that being covered under the Railroad Labor Act meant that we could only unionize with a national vote. No unionizing station by station. Since the topped out were happy with the major adjustments they got the union talk died down until about 2010. Not only did the company beat that but they got the rules tightened up to where it's almost impossible to have a national vote. The Teamsters walked away at that point. It's not for nothing that FedEx bought the naming rights to the Washington Redskins stadium. They wined and dined a lot of Congressmen in those luxury boxes. [/QUOTE]
