[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5590628, member: 24302"] And you weren't here on this forum in 2010 when MrFedEx and others were hammering the point over and over that FedEx could pay as much as UPS. "Same job, different trucks" they used to say. It wasn't the Obama administration voting on the FAA bill with the "Express Employees Relief Act" attached to it. It was a Democratic controlled Congress. Fred donated millions to campaign coffers of Democratic Congressmen. Didn't need to do that with Republicans as they were anti union. The Relief Act was to take us off the RLA and put us under the NLRA. And I was very much pro union. But what I could see shaping up within FedEx is what they did in 1997. They would give everything to the senior employees and tell the rest of us too bad. If it came down to negotiations and the senior employees could see that there was only so much to go around then the mid range employees would be thrown under the bus. When they started giving midrange employees 2% raises it wasn't long until they started giving topped out employees 3%. In I think it was 2014 I got a 32 cent raise while topped out employees making over $6hr more than me got about 70 cents. Imagine what it feels like to supposedly being given raises to catch top out and watch them pull away. Better pay, more contributions to 401k and the portable pensions, more vacation pay for more vacation weeks, etc. And now it looks like rather than finally coming through for those who stuck with them, as they claimed repeatedly over the years, they're going to finally :censored: them over for good.
