[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1102538, member: 24302"] You sound like a cult member. I've worked hard since I was 12, even unloaded cans for almost 4 years at last station, even after getting a stent put in an artery. And I'm not a kid. So can the want it easy crap. Take a good look around you, pay has been stagnant for everyone, not just FedEx employees. And spare me the not-for-execs-it-hasn't argument. The money they make on stock doesn't come out of company revenue other than dividends. If you took their salaries and dividends and spread it amongst all the employees it wouldn't go far. There simply isn't enough leftover after all expenses to pay us like UPS employees, with their great benefits also, which is the goal of union advocates here. The numbers don't add up, but what the hell, let's ignore the numbers. And guess what, we mid-range employees subsidize top-out pay with our less pay, and B pay employees subsidize the highest payscales. Somewhere someone is getting screwed, and it won't end with a union, unless it's all of us because the company has to shut down when they can't meet ever growing demands from employees for the next contract. The company could do better for mid-range employees, top us out faster, but that would most likely mean top out is truly topped out, no more raises for them. It's a dog eat dog system based on lies, and there is no panacea out there unless FedEx operates exactly like UPS and then customers could choose between the two based on how good the service is. And that would mean a union at FedEx and Fred S will never allow it. [/QUOTE]
