One would think we've earned a more competitive benefit package, without greatly effecting profitability. Although there are some who feel we should sacrifice, just a little bit more... Push just a bit harder, tighten our belt just a little bit more, while our position as drivers in the LTL market declines, just a little bit more... in comparison to the competition.

"The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that last year median weekly earnings for union members were $200 higher than for non-union workers. That's not pocket change, and it doesn't even account for the superior benefits enjoyed by union members," said Labor Secretary Thomas Perez.

Compensation: There is more to this than just a weekly paycheck. The entire package is well behind the competition. Lets recall the insurance.

A little comparative analysis is in order, don't you think?
 
The KEY to Balance, in the relationship, is a YES vote, for representation.

Be Pro Company AND Pro Union. Vote Yes! I know I will.
 
Most of us came into the FedEx mix from Co.s that shared the wealth and prosperity. Gains were shared. FedEx is not like that, instead choosing to compensate at the minimum level that the market will bear. Gains are not shared. :(


There was a brief period where gains were shared via the quarterly bonus. That program was quietly discontinued... :mad:


Union representation offers some balance and (generally) insures that workers share in the prosperity. Also Union workers are (generally) significantly better compensated. Until I see something that indicates a trend reversal here at FedEx, or some shared gains, I have little choice but to support organization efforts. :cool:

I don't believe the vast majority of the YES voters want to bankrupt the company. I do believe that many YES voters don't understand the magnitude/financial impact that slice of pie would have.
 
Swamp Ratt,

Your 401(k) is more than 50% more than your pension. Why not include those figures in what the company is doing for your retirement?

How much does FedEx match? Their website only says they match a portion, but doesn't define the portion.
 
ex396, they match 50% up to 6% of gross. When the pension was started, it utilized discretionary dollars, that once went into 401k. Same dollars different pile.

My point being, in the past, increased profitability was shared... On purpose, through higher wages, making us the highest paid non-union company at the time of the purchase. That is no longer the case, and I think it is by design. Almost nothing happens at FedEx, by accident.
