[QUOTE="quadro, post: 736830, member: 12850"] A stop is a stop is a stop. How hard is it to drive between stops? A union likely won't affect me one way or the other. My concern is that people don't take the time to research and think things through and they end up listening to the misleading info that you post. It is a lot harder to get in and out of your vehicle 150 times a day than it is 100 times a day. So thanks for proving my point. The UPS driver does about 50% more work than you and, for arguments sake, let's say he works just 25% harder. Voting in a union isn't going to suddenly provide FedEx extra volume. Common sense tells you that some of the money to pay for whatever is negotiated (which we don't know what that would be even though you like to think you do) is going to come from requiring couriers to do more work in less time. Given that there is no additional volume, that work will come from other employees. Can you say "layoffs"? That's a good way to look out for each other. I have no expectation of you agreeing with me and I would suggest you take your own advise and stop misrepresenting the issues. Once again, you cloud the issue by casting aspersions on me rather than explaining how you believe 150 stops is less work than 100 stops. You say educate, I say mislead. There is certainly a lot of opportunity for FedEx to improve but blindly assuming that a union is the lesser of two evils is going to lead many people down the wrong path. Your claims all boil down to the fact that a union will ensure more pay, better benefits, and the return of a defined benefit pension plan. You rarely, if ever, point out the pitfalls of voting in a union. If you truly wanted to educate people you would present the pros and cons of a union, not just your assumed beliefs of a contract negotiation. [/QUOTE]
