[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2347326, member: 24302"] Probably are using the step term because at the onset many couriers aren't going to need 10 years to reach top out. I see your point though, it gives the company an out if they freeze everyone on their step for a time due to bad market conditions. I know you think they'll do it even in perfect economic conditions but I really believe they have no choice as the young adults, many of whom believe they'll never see Social Security, aren't willing to stay and work hard if there's no reward for doing so. Don't discount the company's need to keep them happy. And at some point you've got to face facts that most companies now are stripping benefits and holding down pay. Unions are very weak these days. If FedEx offers a pay plan that gets people above $20hr in a few years it stays competitive with a lot of what's being offered out there. We may not like it, but it's a lot better than what they put up with 100+ years ago when unions were literally fighting and getting people killed for better conditions. [/QUOTE]
