Do you have any idea what ABF pays for Health benefits? You're blinded by the ANTI-union agenda and have closed your nugget to even give it a thought. I just said it was one issue that is discussed at the table. FXF made $162m last year and has already doubled the profits this quarter versus this time last year. Another issue is a raise of more than 2.2% or whatever we got. I'm not all gung-ho on unionizing but if FXF is just going to continue to raise our health benefits cost and continue with raises in the 2% range then perhaps it's time to take a look. Just read these posts and you can practically see the tears running down the faces of these guys/gals about the rising costs of things which in turn decreases their take home pay. Please enlighten us to this 32 year failure you speak of... WE are the employees, WE would be the union and WE would negotiate a contract. You have the misconception that 'THE UNION' is a third party that negotiates on our behalf.
Do you really think you can negotiate with FedEx and win? The 32 year failure is the trail of bankrupt union companies. Oh wait, that's "bad management", which for some reason only unionized companies have....As for the healthcare debate, be patient, Obamacare has no price controls built into it, unlike Canada and europe, where the healthcare providers are limited in what they can charge. So be prepared to be gouged to death with his blessing....
