[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 591807, member: 12508"] There is a great deal of "secret" support for the union movement within management. Your point that a "union threat" forces a company to "do things for their employees" is incorrect. If FedEx felt threatened at all by unionization we'd still have our old retirement plan instead of the PPP, our wages and benefits would have kept pace with inflation, and on and on. They've stepped all over us, and we've let them do it because of the RLA. Smith knows that it's basically impossible for us to go Teamster as long as he's got his special dispensation. There's a lot the union can do for you, even as a 22 year employee. For one, wouldn't you like to have your retirement plan back? A legitimate grievance process would also be nice, or do you like GFT and Open Door? Perhaps you should educate yourself as to how you (and many others) would benefit as a Teamster, and figure out that Smith doesn't give a damn about any of us. I wish people would quit acting like PSP and all the other public relations BS actually means something...it doesn't. [/QUOTE]
