Where do you think you would be today if there were no unions?? What the unions did was to bring the working class into the middle class.. You really think FedEx would be paying you what you get if there was no threat from the union?? You really do live in another world.. Back when the unions were strong you could work 40 hours a week and make a good living.. Try and do that today in this industry.. Corporate America and Wall Street are the problem today. As far as the Auto industry goes the big three signed those deals years ago before the costs of benefits skyrocketed ..And as far as them producing crap,I will take my Chevy over my sons Toyota any day .. There just is no comparison..
Until you change your way of thinking, the unions will keep struggling. Give the people something they will want and support. Stop attacking them and belittling them because they don't want to join you. That will never convince anyone that your viewpoint it the right on.e
If a company treats there employees well then there would not be a reason for a union but as you see there are many in FedEx that seem to want the union.. It works both ways..
1-I don't work for FedEx anymore.
2-The age old argument that "Unions set your wages" is getting old.
The union doesn't set wages. The economy sets wages. Companies pay to attract drivers. I work in the food service industry now. There aren't many union outfits around. Sysco is the only one that I can think of. Our wages are determined by the availability of qualified employees.
There are many frustrated FedEx employees that want problems solved. The teamsters say they can fix the problems. It takes 50% plus 1 to allow that to happen. The problems is, the teamsters have an image problem. Until they make the services they offer more appealing, it isn't going to happen.
What are you doing to fix this image problem?
