It depends on your priorities and position in FDX stock I suppose.
If you stand to gain more from contract enhancements, negotiate for more pay. If you stand to gain more from the stock, advocate for your NC to lay down...pretty simple really.
As shareholders in our municipalities, states and nation I suppose we need to weigh the same priorities. Unless you are also a member of SEIU I suppose you'd lean towards taxpayer value.
Oh...can you imagine a situation where SEIU would stand with FDX ALPA if you get into a beef with Fred? Will you give them anything more than lip service should they get into a beef with Obama? Which of course will never happen.
So...perhaps it's all symbolism over substance?
Say it ain't so.
