[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 519526, member: 12508"] Spoken like a true manager. What you say about UPS and their attempts to also be classified under the RLA is very true, but a lot of your other statements are misleading. I've been with FedEx a long time, so I've also been topped-out for a long time. But there are a lot of employees who have over 10 years in with the company that are nowhere near topping-out, and the token raises each year are quite small. Let's say I make $24.15 and am at top of range for my market. If we get a token 1% raise, maybe I'll "top-out" and maybe I won't, but the guy who has been with FedEx for 11 years and makes $19.25 per hour will get the 1% and perhaps a very small in-range pay hike. What a scam. It will take him another 5 years to even get to the $24.00 range....all of these numbers are hypothetical. As far as "honoring commitments" goes, what about the end of the traditional pension plan? Did Fred honor his commitment there? The Piss-Poor Plan (PPP) might allow you to retire in Guatemala, but not here. There are so many of us just waiting for retirement or a boost in the economy so we can just get away from this company once and for all. Perhaps you've forgotten how much fun it can be to be an hourly, especially now. And even if you wanted to advance into management and sell your soul, there aren't any openings right now. On the Boeing deal, how come you just can't see blackmail for what it is and admit it? Smith is still going to buy planes. He just parked 14 wide-bodies in the desert that he says aren't coming back (we'll see), and he's openly stated that he's looking to purchase more fuel-efficient aircraft than the DC10 family and the 727. That means [I]new [/I]aircraft, with the exception of the 757. You make good points, but they are exactly what I'd expect from someone in management who doesn't know what's really happening out in the field. Most of us cannot wait to thank Fred with a vote for the IBT. [/QUOTE]
