[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5590957, member: 24302"] I've never said FedEx couldn't do better. I was plenty happy with topping out, getting regular raises to offset inflation, have company paid medical, and a traditional pension. But then they started stripping away everything as they put money together to build Ground. But concerning the profits they made. They had to gut our pay and benefits to come up with the money to build Ground. But there are people on here in the past who made claims that FedEx had plenty of money to pay as much as UPS. They were just being greedy. Use the example I gave where they grossed $52 billion, and half went to payroll and most of the rest was spent elsewhere. I think the after tax profit that year was about a billion. So how does the company, after spending over $26 billion on payroll already, have enough to give much higher pay and great benefits to everyone? Also, unlike UPS, FedEx had 7 different payscales with most of the country under the lowest two. I was definitely onboard for putting us under the NLRA. Not because I believed a union would get us much better pay and benefits, but could protect us from taking everything away from us. And for anyone asking why didn't you just quit? The economy tanked shortly after they announced ending the traditional pension. And I was having health issues. So was pretty much stuck. As were a lot of people. [/QUOTE]
