[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 606219, member: 12508"] No, it isn't the airlines fault. But it is Fred's fault that he pays us too little to just buy a discounted [I]confirmed[/I] ticket instead of having to fly standby. If we don't get a pay raise, what's the point? The whole issue of going union has everything to do with the fact that we have been underpaid for years while the executives of the company have steadily raised their own compensation. Even as profits skyrocketed at FedEx, they took away our pension, extended top-out times to about 15 years, and hired a slew of part-timers to cut FT hours and slash costs. Please remember that all of this happened when [B]record profits were posted year after year.[/B] Now that the economy has gone soft, all of the purple pansies out there want to cut poor Fred some slack while he continues to slash away at our throats with a butcher knife. When are you people going to get it? Hourlies mean [B]NOTHING [/B]to FedEx upper management. We are just the box monkeys that deliver Fred's bread and butter. They consider us to be overpaid as it is, and would like nothing better than to cut our wages down to the level of their exalted role model (Wal-Mart). Fred S should have been born into the Walton family (not the TV version) because he thinks just like Sam Walton did. Hire a bunch of dumb hicks, pay them peanuts so you can sell merchandise at low prices, buy all of your goods off-shore to further lower costs and export US jobs, and then fire anyone who even breathes a word about unions.
