[QUOTE="Winger, post: 591595, member: 24832"] That is why the FedEx managers are secretly hoping the RLA fails and we go union. My manager told me behind closed doors that he can't wait for a union. His door will be closed and he won't have to "care" about our problems any more. He sometimes has to go out and do a route when we are short-handed (no more after the union contract gets signed) and he bends over backwards to accommodate requests from couriers who ask to get out early (after the union comes in he says that it will just be, "just go do your job and leave me alone"). Having a union and a steward to take care of the employees actually makes the manager's job much easier. Which would support your view that a union company is "stricter" than a non-union. A non-union company always has that "union threat" that forces them to do things for their employees (that they admittedly don't really want to do). If I were just starting at FedEx as a 21 year old driver I'd be all for a union. But with 22 years in, there's nothing a union is going to do for me. [/QUOTE]
