My traditional pension will be $1,700 and change.Lolol. Saw a Walmart anti union video one time when I went down the YouTube rabbit hole one night. It was funny. Also $2000 a month pension. Lolol. Try $4500-$5000, and even more in some cases. Was talking to a driver one morning from Rhode Island. Told me they get 7K per month.
Different Opcos, different rules for unionizing.If anything does come about and we get a union does that only cover certain Fedex brands like Express, Ground, Freight? How would that work?
Move to Albania, double your spending power, live on the beach, eat good food!My traditional pension will be $1,700 and change.
Only if FedEx has the money to pay that.The fact that Express' so called 10 step pay progression has been suspended is proof enough that they need to unionize. If we did have a union, you'd be looking at a 3-4 year to top out progression plan. "Oh I don't wanna pay union dues" they say. Okay, so you'll be making over $20,000 a year more by paying $800 (or so) a YEAR in union dues. Do the match. Pay $800 to make $20K more a year. You're still coming out $19,200 ahead every year.
Ooooh let’s not start that crap again.Only if FedEx has the money to pay that.
20K more per year? Try 40 or 50K per year if you aren’t at top rate. I left Express in 2011. Never made more than 45K per year. 4th year at Brown I made 95K without even trying. I will say this, if you are one of the lucky ones at Express that is at top rate, I wouldn’t recommend doing it. Not worth it. I have to imagine top rate Express drivers easily make 70K. Am I wrong? I don’t even know what top rate is. When i left for my market I think it was mid 20s per hour.The fact that Express' so called 10 step pay progression has been suspended is proof enough that they need to unionize.

Yes, let's give people false hope.Ooooh let’s not start that crap again.
