[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 737178, member: 24302"] But as long as FedEx is primarily an overnight service the logistics of getting those pkgs to the airport will dictate how much we can do in a given day. And they will be concerned about the cost of overtime also. If we are at $30hr do you think they'll want to pay us $45hr? Now if we are a part-time overnight service only they may make us run like crazy for 5 or 6 hrs a day. I'll live with that. But one thing is for certain. They have given no indication that they'll spend more on us without a union. With a union at least we have a chance for something better. If they don't want a union they need to come up with something considerably better than we have now. Why not come up with a plan that promotes employees to whatever the current top-out is after they reach 10 years? Or even 15 years? No matter what happens those 10 or 15 years, when an employee crosses that threshold, kuh-ching, they are topped out. If not why not? Give people a real goal to work for and morale may greatly improve. As is, when topped out people retire, they are replaced by cheaper newhires. As more and more retire profits will increase. The labor force is seen as a source of profit enhancement. Hey Wall Street, look how we are growing profits. Look how we are increasing dividends. Buy our stock, make the price go up. That's what it's all about. They need to settle for a bit less and pay us better. [/QUOTE]
