[QUOTE="fedex_rtd, post: 564292, member: 23671"] So do you live in Washington DC, or Memphis?? I read this garbage on the FedEx corporate web site today at work. As an hourly employee I can see through some of the smoke and mirrors of this op piece. First off he talks about the UAW. What does that have to do with FedEx, UPS or the RLA? Nothing other than the fact that they are a labor organization, and furthermore he tries to blame them for Chrysler's second failure. Sorry that failure sounds like a management issue to me. Second, he tries to make it sound like if the RLA wording passes the Senate, the following day FedEx will come to a crashing stop. This is almost sounding like I am listening to a FedEx manager here.....Bluff, Lie, Threaten, and Intimidate. Sorry buddy I don't buy it, Fred said the same thing would happen if the pilots got their union, and nothing bad happened, and some really good stuff has happened for the pilots. FedEx has nothing to fear about. Why would an employee want to add another level of management to their workplace? If I as an hourly employee get a compensation package that is in line with what a feeder driver at UPS earns, and am treated fairly I would not vote in a union. In short this is about money and control. If anything as an RTD I feel I should be paid MORE than a feeder driver. Why? Because I carry dangerous goods on a regular basis, when was the last time you saw a UPS truck or trailer that had a placard on it? Show me the money, restore my pension, and treat me in an honest and truthful manner, and you will not have to fear the Teamsters or any other union. If the RLA wording becomes law, and you fail to do these things, you SHOULD be afraid, very afraid! [/QUOTE]
