[QUOTE="fedx, post: 4717652, member: 64891"] You're right. Most chumps will leave for something better, but those that were promised the 10 step pay progression that got stopped after 2 years will stay and fight. Everyone has the option to find better work. Unions seems to stick around even though people can go find work elsewhere. If FedEx Express had a union, you'd see the same kind of working conditions that existed at FedEx decades ago such as people topping out in 3 years instead of 30, a traditional pension plan, etc. Back then a union wasn't needed, but it is needed today. If FedEx kept taking care of their employees, a union wouldn't be needed, but that's not the case anymore. I'm sure you'll bring up the $1K bonus and you're right to do so. However, it will be used as an excuse next year for another 2% raise. It will be "we already gave you a bonus, so we aren't going to give more than 2% again in 2021." If FedEx gives you $1,000, they'll take it away somewhere else. [/QUOTE]
