[QUOTE="Asskicker, post: 1226551, member: 45097"] Hey Brontegirl, I know there was a lawsuit going on against FedEx for not having to play by the same rules. Their drivers are actually contractors who have to buy their truck. They work like a franchise. That's why they can get out of the healthcare thing too. Now they might have to do something with the new Obama healthcare laws. And back to the strike. My spouse and I both work here. We had an 18 month old and a new house. No pay for three weeks. And I mean NO pay. We didn't get the picket money until we were back to work and that was $50 a week each. Wow!!!! Big bad Union huh? I know a lot of people who said they never got paid. The Union was completely unorganized and some of the Stewards and BAs were conveniently on vacation during the whole thing. It's something I will never forget and it's a story to tell the Grandkids. I still have a picket sign hanging in my house. I think we get played by both sides and each of us have to stand up for our rights or just accept the BS. Management has really taken a hit with the healthcare and this company will have a hard time hiring in the future unless maybe they are planning to pay a higher salary to suck people in. No one would touch those jobs right now. [/QUOTE]
