[QUOTE="dezguy, post: 1627462, member: 49811"] To add to my last post, here is a little food for thought for people like RedAngel. I believe I saw you post that you're making $16 and change in another thread? If not for our competition and their union, do you really think you'd be even making that? FedEx pays just enough to keep some people from jumping ship to the competition. If not for UPS' union, you'd be getting paid minimum wage with no benefits. Secondly, my "benefits" cost me $100/month in copay. I also have to pay into my "company pension". The UPS and Purolator guys in my city pay less than $100/month in union dues, get fully funded health benefits at no cost to them and have a real pension, at no cost to them all because of their union. With the money they save each month, they can grow a pretty nice RRSP which they can use on top of that pension the union negotiated for them, at retirement. But you're right, the union does nothing for them. I sure hope you're never in the position of being fired with no hope of getting your job back because you don't have a union fighting for you. I have seen FedEx get rid of a lot of people because they could in my time here. I have also seen a lot of UPS and Purolator guys back on the job after being let go, a short time later because the union did what they are paid to do and fought for them. [/QUOTE]
