[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1023092, member: 24302"] What I'm saying is that if they send enough freight over to Ground then the FTers could do remaining P2 plus pups. Since there would be less freight to sort the PTers PLUS some extended area FTers that must launch earlier could run the sort and get it done. And yes, it would be a PR nightmare. Who'd want to work for FedEx if made to stay all day with a long break for 35-37 hrs? Oh, right, it would force out FTers to replace them with PTers. But most PTers are looking for FT work. It would be bad public relations, not to mention it could get the scrutiny of oversight boards who determine if we are to be under the RLA or not. Yeah, have a field day with that one but you know if FedEx starts abusing the privilege then they could lose it. I think the goal is to get us close to 40 without OT, and taking away some of our volume will do it. I realize this doesn't fall in line with your apocalyptic vision, but it's, as I said, speculation. And you may be right for all I know but you are so asinine about it that I'll put forth that when the dust settles it won't be nearly as SCARY as you make it out to be. It will be tough enough making a living with no OT and slow pay progression, but getting rid of us in favor of soccer moms in minivans is just silly. Designed to get us to sign those cards because, after all, you have absolutely no dog in this fight. You aren't a union shill sent to push signing cards. You aren't trying to hurt FedEx by getting us to quit if you can't get a union in. No sirree, you do everything for purely altruistic reasons. And yep, that ship has sailed.
