It's a great sign that regardless of company, men and women of conviction and character are UNWILLING to accept a contract TA that does not reflect their worth or value to the company.
I'm truly surprised when I hear an intelligent, grown man/woman buying into the "it's probably the best we can get" argument.
No fight in them at all. Just lay down and take whatever FDX gives you. Maybe instead of lanyards and ties, they should wear white flags of surrender as ascots.
I'll pass on that and wear my FITI bracelet and no lanyard. I'll wear my pin but that's it. Lanyards and billboards don't get a deal. Quiet, silent perseverance is what matters. Fly the book. Your choice.
