[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 532049, member: 12508"] This would never happen, but let's say FedEx bought UPS and you were forced to de-certify and become non-union. Do you think that your wage and benefit package would be as good as it is now? No way. Conservatives hate the Teamsters, collective bargaining, and the right to grieve issues with the company. Fred, being a good Conservative, would instantly strip you of these evil commie benefits because it would be for your own good. Then you could pull yourself up Horatio Alger-style and become another Fred S free market capitalist hero. Yeah, right... If Smith were a Democrat, I'd feel the same way about him. There are plenty of shady and dishonest Democrats too. But Republicans are all about people like Smith, and he [I]is [/I]very strongly attached to the Republican Party. At FedEx, we've been slowly but gradually squeezed until we're barely hanging onto being part of the middle class. In the meantime, Fred and the upper crust at FedEx have been raking in millions. By eliminating our retirement plan,keeping wages low,stringing-out top out times to about 12 years, and other "games" that screw us over, he's added even more to his take. And as far as Republicans are concerned, that's just fine. What Conservatives fail to realize is that by not paying middle-class wages, workers can no longer buy homes, cars, and the other consumer items that keep our economy healthy. While the CEO's get fat, we starve, and keep driving that old clunker instead of the new model we [I]could [/I]afford if wages had kept pace with inflation [I]and[/I] the growth of corporate profits. Smith has continuously cut us back, even when FedEx planes were full and record profits were being earned. Screwing us is part and parcel (pun intended) of a Conservative philosophy that values management and de-values labor. [/QUOTE]
