[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 564202, member: 12508"] UPS is union and the world didn't end when they went on strike. If FedEx goes union and we go on strike, it's not going to end then either. It's just another scare tactic by FedEx to try and keep from paying us a decent wage....it's all about the money. Only fools believe the FedEx hyperbole. FedEx Freight and FedEx LTL are under the auspices of the NLRA and neither are union. How come? Because Fred has no special deal like the RLA exemption protecting him at these two companies, he actually has to pay their employees decent wages. Imagine that. Once they figure out that they are going to get screwed on their pensions too that will change and most FedEx operating divisions will go union. In my area of the country, the starting wages for FedEx Freight and FedEx LTL are around $22 per hour. That's about $5 per hr higher than a new RTD and 7-8 bucks an hour more than a new courier. As they say, you get what you pay for, and in Fred's case, the payoff for being a miser is a Teamster workforce. If he hadn't been such a cheap greasy weasel things might have been different. Poor little Fred. It's so sad when trust fund babies get their due. [/QUOTE]
