I have been working for FedEx Freight for 14 yrs. as a Road Driver In WOR. Lets look at what the Union promises
Better Health Care: Only if it is agreed upon in contract.
Better Retirement: Only if it is agreed upon in contract. Father in law just had pension cut by Union because its underfunded worked 32yrs
Better Pay: Ask YRC and ABF how their pay is. Been cut Union has agreed to concessions. The shortage of drivers will drive our future pay rates rather than the Union.
Union Protection: Fedex with have it written in the contract that they will have the right to put profitability above everything else. That means you can still get fired for getting into accidents, damaging equipment on company property.
The Union will agree to this provision in order to collect dues.
Overnight voted to go Union years ago and never agreed on a contract. Once you vote the Union in it is not easy to get them out. You vote the way you want,Thats your decision. Just don't ***** when you don't get what you want. In the meantime I will continue to collect a damn good paycheck every Friday and as long as I am a safe driver I will be satisfied.
