[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 987810, member: 22880"] Any worker (regardless of their education) who works for a large corporation and punches a clock or is paid by the hour.... should be unionized for their own protection. The pilots of FedEx Express knew well enough NOT to trust their livelihoods to the whims of Fred S... they're doing alright. When it comes to education, my experience taught me that education's best benefit is in making one realize that they cannot trust their livelihoods to the whims of corporate management, and should unionize to ensure they get treated and compensated fairly for the work they provide to their employer. Before I worked for Express, I thought that unions were an anachronism of the late 19th-early 20th century. It took some "on the job education", for me to realize that unions play an important role in balancing the power of large corporations in their relations to their labor force. Sadly, many Express employees don't have that "education" (even after years of working for Express) to realize that they need some way to protect themselves, so they take the crumbs Fred hands them - which get fewer and fewer as the years pass.
