[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5120902, member: 76643"] Have you read any of the articles lately re: FedEx? My point missed you. I was saying, your train of thought -- "the company is doomed" -- does not encourage the kind of prudence you think it does. If it's the last hurrah, as you seem to say it is, then I say we shouldn't at all tread meekly. Bingo! Not until the rank and file is ready to act, anyway ... One would think, but I hope one day workers manage to cast off this sham way of life and bring about the demise of all companies in anything like their current form. I'd be happy to trade my pension for that, and, in fact, the usual wisdom is not to count on it anyway since we're in a "race to the bottom." Good to hear. As long as we keep in mind that "raises" which don't account for inflation are also pay cuts. A sunday school lesson in labor-management relations delivered by a "union thug"?! Yowza. [/QUOTE]
