[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 250918, member: 5831"] I think we still have 10 months to negotiate people. You have to be ready to strike or they will call your bluff. I have said it is great we started the talks early. But why are we taking the 1st offer? And why is the union pushing it so hard? There is the choice of voting no and saying you have 8 or so months to fix the things in it that we do not like. Then there is always extending the talks for a couple months at most to fine tune it. I hear the raises will be like 75 cents or so. Change to a flat 50 cent yearly raise and fix all the areas of the contract that we want fixed! Why are we acting this way when we made $4,200,000,000 in profit. Managers and on-roads have a very good salary, plus 1/2 months extra at Christmas, plus a pension, plus stock bonuses, AND 401K MATCHING FUNDS!!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE WE NOT DEMANDING AT LEAST THE 401K MATCHING FUNDS? Everyone that I tell about the fact that only management gets it not us states how stupid it is. It only makes good business sense. Heck we can't even get a discount on shipping with our own company yet my insurance company fringe benefit is that I can go to FedEx and get 25% off all shipping including air! What a joke huh?
