[QUOTE="Sniper, post: 1181278, member: 48816"] Really....the IBT... come on now we are smarter than that. Most of us old timers that have been around the block once or twice....or several thousand times in our career KNOW that is not the answer. UPS has so many districts, labor contracts that vary from literally city to city....keep in mind WHO really built Las Vegas and skimmed the unions to do it. I have always been a blood red republican but in the last 10 years or so I can clearly see that some sort of collective agreement would have benefited us worker bees at express. Especially when Enron burned and our pension was stolen, when most stayed with the traditional pension plan... we were then forced to the portable pension and got the [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] end of the stick all the way on that one. We were very close at the beginning of the Obama error. They actually sent management to MEM to train them how to talk us out of signing an union card.... THEY WERE SERIOUSLY CONCERNED it WAS going to happen....but now all hopes are dashed. Most all of us can recall when the pilots did the their union. Oh, gnashing of the teeth...pity fedex..we will be broke in a month.... Guess what. The pilots organized their OWN union, by their OWN people and we never heard another word....last I checked the planes are still flying. Websites are cheap...I mean really cheap. I would like to see us organize with truly honest concerns but the teamsters are broke very similar to the plight of social security.... too many drawing and not enough paying. The FedEx Courier Connection website could be very easily started and just like the "200 year old flawed document"...OF the couriers, FOR the couriers and BY the couriers. Host gator has some really good rates....all those in the loop could tell the others that are not. Sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees. I am over 2/3rds well on the way to the end of my career.....I see senior employees fired for nothing to replace them with newbies with no vacation liability who will never top out....that is the new improved FedEx Express. Could have, would have....SHOULD have. Those fly boys are sharp and have NEVER needed to even talk about a strike....the planes are flying tonight. Keep flying boys...and we will keep driving.
