I just think that when business is good and companies need people a Union can thrive but when the economy is down they don't seem to do so well.
I know those guys have their pension thing going for them and I hope they get every penny of it as they deserve it but other than that, I don't see how the Union is looking after their interests now and it seems they do everything for the company and nothing for the members...
I am an outsider on that issue, but as an outsider, thats the way I see it
Of course I hope these guys get their pension adjusted..I to, hope they get whats due to them..I have a problem talking to union drivers that try to convince me I'm not happy or satisfied..I am perfectly happy and satisified..If I get layed off tomorrow,I will still be happy and satisified..Do you know why..Because that union hand is going to be right beside me when the nut cuttin' done..No one is beyond extinction,these days.
That's right. I've got a friend laid up right now that drives for FXN that's pretty worried about getting back in the truck.
Ya ain't gonna hear him complain if and when he does.
A fellow FedEx Freight employee and a friend were injured on the job, after a period of time FedEx decided to yank his benefits (Health-Dental-Vision-Life ins). Said employee spoke with an attorney and the first question he was asked was "Are you in a Union), His reply was no and the attorney said that had he and others who had the same thing happen been organized then they would not have lost their Insurance but because they're not then FedEx can and always does eliminate whatever benefits they can as a way of saving a few bucks. And it's legal.
