[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 553585, member: 18471"] How do you know the "vast majority of FedEx empoyees don't care about this issue"? What I find distasteful is a company, (not just fedex), that starts out telling their employees, "you don't need a union, we'll pay you a comparable wage and benefit package, after all we're just one big happy family." Then a few years down the road, "Dad" starts saying things like, "business is tough, benefit costs have skyrocketed." "We're all gonna have to pitch in, so family, you're gonna have to take a pension cut, forego your raises, and help contribute to the cost of your benefits, (kind like a double pay cut)." "We'll weather this storm and come out on the other side a stronger company." "After all we're just on big happy family" Meanwhile, "Dad" takes a token pay cut, (hey when you make say $15million a year, is even a $5 million pay cut a lot? When is there enough millions). Also "Dad" always wanted a sports team, lets go buy one. (But that's separate, that's "Dad" using his own money to buy the team. Company money is in "Dad's" right pants pocket, "personal" monies in the left. That's when it goes out, it all gets stuffed in the pockets from the same source) Plus "Dad" or any big business, (and quite a few small ones), pay accountants all kinds of money to figure ways to "enrich" themselves and lower their "tax burden". So maybe they're making "less money" but the hidden "executive" perks, such as private jets, chauffered cars, etc are still there. It's like an old joke about two business men having lunch together, "Joe" asks "Bill", "How's business?" Bill replies, "Not bad." Joe replies, "Great, now I can write this off as a business lunch." Of course they've limited the # of martinis they can write off. [/QUOTE]
