Unfortunately, it sounds like Fat Freddy has made his decision regarding you. I promise you it’ll be just a temporary setback. This will provide you the chance to find employment with a company who doesn’t treat you like
, and it’s an opportunity you probably wouldn’t have taken had Fat Freddy not stabbed you in the back. You’ll bounce back.
It also means you can quit at will, so…
RTW means you can decline to join the union.
Your station might be a ways down the line for absorption/elimination, so it's possible he was being honest. Based on your FedEx experience and what you know is already happening with Ground, it would be in your best interests to consider every statement they make to be a lie.
Always wondered how much of a low life one could be to not pay dues but still be afforded representation and benefits.
I don’t understand it. I don’t even talk to UPS drivers here in AZ, not sure if they are dues payers.
Actually, this difference is huge. They can't deny representation but they can decline to pay dues, which essentially neuters the union. Without any funding, the union withers and dies. Legally, you can still organize, but RTW is a union killer.
And you figured that out all by yourself? I’m very friggin proud of ya’
It's not fair. States should force employees to pay money to an association that attempts to fix prices and restrict competition, even though it's illegal in any other setting by any other group. IT'S NOT FAIR.
That's some interesting reasoning. Unions "fix prices and restrict competition" sounds like something straight from the Memphis Anti-Union Task Force, aka The BBQ Squad. No, unions allow workers to form a collective voice and power that keeps management honest. No way we can have unions at FedEx without threatening the very survival of the company!! Oh my!! FedEx has union pilots who actually do make industry-leading wages, and they learned that the only countermeasure to Fred's greed was to create the ability to shut him down. Vantexan, Vantexan!! Please come help Dano!!
Nothing yet no one knows what’s happening next week after the move. As in are we running the new plan the old setup we have now or what seems to be a
show so far. The lack of communication between management levels is ridiculous.I’d take ups union dues over what we pay in medical a month with a high deductible.
He seriously wanted pilots to handle packages? Wtf…
Yah, that's how they determined the true gender.
