Yall keep saying "dont negotiate a XX contract, negotiate a Fedex one"
Ok, who?
Me personally?
No, a collective of all drivers (many of which are idiots, and can not even balance their checkbook)

At least half of our driver pool is dying of old age, and the new hires have zero work ethic.
Yeah, I can imagine the contract they would be willing to settle for after the scare and doom crew have filled their ears.
Do some of you believe that we just sit down, say "Ok, free healthcare, $2hr raise, bi-yearly,. 85c per mile, ect, ect" and its just handed over?
You think a union barn wont have strict safety regs?
This is the world we live in. Liabilities are expensive, as well are lawsuits.
Please, come visit me. I have some super real estate deals to offer you all!
I am sorry, I do not have an answer, but a union is not going to make everyday at FX like Christmas.
Not looking for money or free health care, but a safety net from fire happy managers!
