This flippant remark is an attempt to hide in plain sight and is offensive. In truth, directly from the Negotiating Committee people at the table for the 2006 contract, $325/hour was already agreed to in IPA negotiations. Which was promptly dismissed upon release of the FedEx TA. I do not believe the Negotiating Committee of the IPA is lying. And the NC personal say the same thing today. I do no believe they are lying.
It is very hard to strike when you have just had your legs amputated. More like impossible.
The problem is not the hourly pay rates so much as FDX refused to work with the IPA despite repeated attempts by the IPA to do exactly that....work together. And FDX ALPA refused. I have my intuition as to why FDX ALPA refused to work with the IPA but won't say.
The result set everyone back a decade in payscales.
