[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1142329, member: 24302"] IF it goes as predicted you won't have much of a fulltime job to love in a few years. Are you looking into something else to do? The one thing I don't get about a union is FedEx has the right to use mostly part timers, they don't have to have a fulltime workforce and yet I get the sense that some here believe they can be forced with a union to give us X amount of hours and a certain amount of pay. All the union can do is negotiate a contract and vote to strike if they don't like what's offered in negotiations. They really can't demand that FedEx give them everything they want and automatically get it. And if FedEx believes it's in it's best interest to have a much smaller Express and an emphasis on Ground then there's nothing we can do about it. How they're going about it stinks, but they've proven themselves dishonest in the past so no surprise there. I had planned to sell 2 weeks of vacation in June to pay off a bill and the senior mgr just sent out a notice that no vacation buy backs will happen in June and only 80 hrs will be bought back in July for all 3 of his stations, based on seniority. So simply put they hold all the cards, can do as they please, bitching about wimps who won't sign cards(when no one is presenting any info and cards to all of us wimps) won't change anything. Better just roll with the punches while looking for something else. [/QUOTE]
