Right. And why is that? It's because the finger that runs your mouth has an RLA, various politicians and corporations he can leverage, and a weak Teamsters unions "led" by a flaccid cardboard cut-out of his father. And you and your ilk take full advantage, knowing that you can get away with it.
Good I hope more people start to say it in meetings and it will reach those idiots running this place

They know. One of the main jobs taught to management is NO UNION EVER. That's when new managers get sent to Memphis for indoc. I had a friend became a manager and he said when he went there ,it actually scared him.

True. TUT, and others outside Express don't understand this. Neither do they understand the leverage Smith has, not just with politicians, but with suppliers/vendors. I've mentioned Smith using the Boeing 777 deal to kill RLA reform, and the Senators from Boeing were both Democrats.
Let's say FedEx is going to buy 2,000 Freightliners, and Obama proposes modifying the RLA again. Smith calls the Republican politician from the state that produces Freightliners and threatens to cancel the order if the legislation goes through (just like Boeing). Smith is so powerful that he probably calls Boehner or McConnell directly, and they answer. Even if Democrats represent the state, Smith gets his way because they don't want the political fallout if jobs or work are lost. So they cave...Smith wins. Even Obama has famously kissed Smith's ass with the "good CEO" comment.
I've long surmised that Hoffa gets some form of tribute from Smith to keep from mounting all-out campaigns. Sure, the IBT is trying to organize Freight, but they are weak and don't mount much of an effort. That way it looks like they're legit, and Hoffa can say he's fighting the fight.

Just telling it like it is
Did MT3 tell you to say that just like everything else?
What you commented to I understood that. Every non-union company doesn't want a union, that is a-typical and most union companies would rather not have a union. It's common sense.
I also understand Fred is a powerful man, many large corporations have that as well.
I don't disagree with your response at all, that wasn't even part of what I wrote.

I was thinking it may actually be MFE's alter ego.

Your message would reach a larger audience if you had them send it out via the powerpad with the #FedExPride tag.

Hey!! I can see you're certainly part of the "team". You'll fit in here just fine. Rah-rah, FedEx!! I guess after you drink the Kool-Aid long enough, your brain just dissolves.
I forget, what is the stock rebuttable when such a course of action is suggested?
If you really want to make noise write a nice letter and mail it to your CEO and have as many couriers as you can get to sign it and be sure to include all the pay BS that is going on. Also in a nice way include how you can bring this up to the attention of a news channel and how much they would love to hear about this.
