That's what we get for believing Fedex's propaganda when the Teamsters were pushing hard for us to join years ago. Oh well. It is what it is.

Did they say they were closing up shop, and moving to Mexico?

No, but Fred DID say he would shut his company down before he allowed in a union.

Same tactic. Probably gave everyone a raise too, to placate everyone, and to show how wonderful of a company it is.

Of course... And we were told that Teamsters were thugs. That y'all paid lots of money in dues, etc.

I went to a retirement information meeting on Saturday. Of course it opened with how FedEx is one of only 25% of companies that still has a pension, and how we have a "really, really good pension". Lol.

It depends...dues are typically 2.5 - 3x your hourly rate a month. Some locals break the amount down to a smaller weekly deduction...which i prefer...vs. the whole chunk out of one check. Either way...it's cheaper than having to pay for health insurance.

Oh, I know. Those are just the lies we were fed. My health insurance is $47 a week and it has a high deductible and pays 80/20.

The only thing better about it is it's taken care of in-house. They capped our traditional pension in 2008. New people will never see that. The new thing is a Portable Pension. That's not a lot of money. Maybe a few hundred a month.
