[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 138750, member: 2189"] Wildgoose IMO asked the all important questions among many that FedExers need to ask before taking this step. Sure it's good for us but FedExers should think of themselves first. If FedEx across the country become Teamsters and enter the multi-employer plans, there's no doubt those like myself with 25 years will benefit from that influx. However, looking out 25 and 30 years for the new FedEx Teamster, can you tell me how they will look? A handfull of UPSers are not covered by multi-employer plans and FedExers would do well to either take that route or FedExers actually hold a key trump card in making our pension better but it'll require us, the "day in the trenches" Teamster employee to explain what is happening so if they do decide to join the multi- employer plans they can help shape them so that they are viable 25 and 30 years out. You know, it's ironic the "brotherhood" crap I hear all the time from the unionist all over the place and the belittling I recieve as well as others when I or them express some indepenent thought and concern for wanting to take my/their own future in my/their own hands while the unionist sit on their totalitarian butts and refuse any consideration for other possibilities or to even discuss them. Now we have FedEx coming into the scene and now they flip coin and cast away the collective "brotherhood" mentality and fully embrace the "me" mentality (UPSers should rejoice the FedEx money into CS,etc.)and what they themselves will gain out of that deal. In other words, "I'm stuck in a bad plan and I need you to bail me out so I can enjoy the good life. As for your good life in 25 to 30 years, that's your problem!" Brothers of the working man to the end aren't you! As for the APWA I think that was clearly answered. [/QUOTE]
