[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 547759, member: 12570"] Rural/residential routes are often times referred to as retirement routes as they tend to be the routes favored by those drivers nearing retirement. There is normally less wear and tear on the driver. Should compensation be revised to reflect the differences between urban and rural routes? I don't believe so. We all pay our dues and should be rewarded as we near the finish line, not during the race. I know a few of the Express drivers here and feel confident that each of them would do just fine wearing Brown. Sure, there would be an adjustment period, both in productivity and mindset, but each of us went through this adjustment when we first started working here. Red has made many good points, chief among these being that passage of this legislation does not necessarily mean that FedEx employees will immediately begin to organize. Passage will simply afford them the opportunity to do so. I have enjoyed this discussion as points have been made on both sides of the issue and I have learned a lot about FedEx that I did not know.
