Only the brain washed stead fast union die hards would deny they are sucked into a whirlpool and can't get out. I have worked for a union carrier and all that goes on is crying about who gets what that they don't get. Grievances out the rear end and in the end no one is happy. If Fed Ex Natl would want a vote for union I would say not 1000%. All the union members who read this know they are like the little boy who cried wolf. Keep yelling long enough and there are some that will come running. Be proud that you have a job and do it to the best of your ability or move on over to the union side and another company.
