I thought the government balled out those plans. Commenting for a friend.

Part of the bailout was also putting more into the funds to shore them up, so NE got a huge contribution increase, the UPS/IBT pension fund got a good payout increase, and every other fund had their contribution rates frozen. They took the contribution increases from all over the country and used them toward raises for PTers and those two funds.

My apology. Extortion.

You're doing Union work. Why shouldn't or wouldn't you pay union dues?

It certainly is pass through now. I never looked at it as a career. Just a part time job. Although they’re retiring more often now, there are those who’ve worked there many years and made a decent career of it. That’s not possible today because the few benefits we’ve had are being whittled away, tawdry as some of them are. Those getting hired now quickly see the situation and leave. I doubt FedEx will survive more than a few more years as a competitive, successful company.

FedEx is a union-hating, selfish corporation. UPS is too, but they’re saddled with the Teamsters.

I have tremendous respect for my UPS comrades. They earn every penny, and it’s blood money.

Big Union barnyard product, did you hear the word “acuity” on tv and just think using it would make you look a bit less dim? We can’t all be as hyped up on testosterone and driven by cultural stereotypes as you are. And oh, what a shame that is.

Sadly, at one time, FedEx was a good career. If anything that should show you what it’s like working without a union and a giant corporation.

Even funnier is most don’t realize they wouldn’t even wanna work there even seasonally if it hadn’t been for the wages the union negotiated.

I can’t recall what my exact pay was. But it wasn’t anything great. Something in the teens. This was probably 11 years ago. And I definitely wasn’t covered or protected by the contract, which made paying dues a ridiculous idea. Even just a money grab, if I had an ounce of cynicism in me.

Quite. FedEx shows it in textbook fashion. Nothing I didn’t know or expect when I started.
