I don't know him, probably have never met him and the only unofficial fedex website I'm on is this one. But I read his bullet points. You say they've already been disproven several times over? Really?
How much money has the average Fedex pilot lost since TA1 failed? Not $100k? Then how much?
The next three bullets seem mostly correct. Anyone notice the stock price today after hours? As I type this it's up 12.89%. What else happened today? Oh, that's right. We picketed outside Wall Street.🤦♂️ Yeah, pretty sure investors aren't even remotely concerned about our contract. Or lack of. And they know we'll never be released to strike. Especially in an election year. Instead of them being sympathetic to our cause, they just pushed our stock toward its record high. As I type this it has jumped 15.2%. Maybe we should avoid picketing in the future, unless our goal is to highlight for investors that FedEx isn't going to spend their investment dollars on our contract. I will say I don't know about the "25% more than Delta's new contract". But investors don't care about that either. Like the company, they are focused on profits. Paying employees less and firing employees seems to make them both happy. When are we going to figure that out and stop claiming it as leverage? (Edited to add that yes I know earnings were posted today and that's what drove up the stock price. But we picketed today because earnings were released and we wanted investors to know we still didn't have a contract. Message passed. And apparently ignored)
I also don't know about the last bullet. Speculation. Although I think it's safe to say the flying side of FedEx won't be growing. But none of that is proveable or disprovable until it happens. Still waiting for word on the Postal Contract. 5 months until it expires. Anyone still think that's leverage for us?
So maybe someone can help me out. Can anyone post the data or evidence that "disproves" what he says? Or does he raise some valid points?
