[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3616634, member: 24302"] You have to ask why this is happening? Everyone wants things to remain the same but with a pay raise. Only the market is changing, the competition more intense. Sooner or later the Teamsters are going to have to recognize that and it looks like it's happening with this contract. If they wait another 5 years the company might get hammered and start losing money. You can blame it on FedEx Ground. You can blame it on ecommerce becoming centralized and the giant company responsible for that wants to keep the money they're paying others. To say the economy is good now doesn't acknowledge that the economy can worsen, and the competition has increased. The only small package shipping company paying union wages and benefits is UPS and to keep that going in today's marketplace isn't realistic. The Teamsters are acknowledging that reality even if their membership doesn't want to accept it. [/QUOTE]
