[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 607317, member: 11425"] Unfortunately we are one of the last private companies, outside utility companies with a captive market, to provide a traditional job with a pension, decent pay, and benefits. Wall Street will definitely not reward us for doing this. FedEx ground is the company they will reward. The question is, will UPS follow the example of Costco where the customer comes first and they even put employees ahead of the shareholders? We all know the answer to that. Another possibility; the top shareholders in this company slowly but surely siphon of the profits, sell their shares, and flush this company down the toilet. Maybe they will just force us into a strike one day, forcing an ultimate showdown where we bow to their demands or they lock us out and start from scratch. Thanks to PAS/EDD, it won't be impossible to do. Probably what will happen to us is what is happening to the YRC employees. Give backs and concessions. I just want to know who will be purchasing the services of all these companies who keep throwing labor under the bus? Surely not those of us who are under the bus! Sorry if I sound pessimistic, but I don't have much faith in this company, or humanity while we are at it. [/QUOTE]
