[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 974163, member: 24302"] I find with today's Sprinters there's little chance of cargo being tossed. Econolines are a problem but the Sprinter's shelves with lips on them are very good at keeping freight contained. If a pkg manages to fall on the floor it's usually noticeable. Not saying it can't happen, it's just much less likely than with an Econoline. I see the blame game going on again here, talking about couriers' unwillingness to sign union cards. Where's the union advocating that we sign cards? Is a courier who has never even been exposed to the idea supposed to wake up one day and decide he'd like to sign one? Want us to sign cards? Get the union reps at our gates. Plenty of upset people will be willing with guidance. I've been working next to topped out couriers for over 13.5 years now with no hope of ever catching them. Is the company going to force them out when Dynamic Roads is implemented? Are they going to force me out too since I make more than $17hr? Or are they just going to hire in cheaper employees and wait out the older employees who retire, having, as they've done with us in mid-range, people working next to others who make considerably more? Is the company in a huge rush to push us out the door, probably incurring lawsuits, or is it that over time they'll become more and more profitable with more and more cheaper employees as older ones leave? And ultimately if people are willing to hire on and work for that kind of pay, as they are for Ground, do we have a right to protest? FedEx pays what the market will bear. Don't get me wrong, they are lying, cheating, conniving schemers with what they've done to us. But if the time comes when they are finally upfront with what they offer and people accept that, then it is what it is. But hey FedEx monitors, you cheated us on the pension. Enjoy those mansions in Memphis. It's all you'll ever have. [/QUOTE]
