My comments are partly genuine, but mostly sarcastic. Probably came off as if I'm oblivious, my point is they could be more successful than they are if they chose a different path. Cutting benefits to fund debt based stock buybacks, are going to literally drive this company into the ground.I agree with your comments about Henry Ford, but FedEx is waaay behind the curve in terms of retirement, pay, and benefits. Anything they give you will only bring them (and you) to a point you probably should have been at 15 years ago. Plus, whatever you get, will be offset by a takeaway somewhere else, so your net gain (as always), will be zero.
You sound like a nice guy. Fred S is not a nice guy, and he will do everything he can to pick your pocket. Always be aware of this, and you'll figure it out someday.
I've said it before and I'll say it again capital gains need to be taxed as income to stem this craziness.
