I am not a fan of everything Cynical says, but he is right on this one. The pay is inadaquate. I haven't read all the details but just from an hourly figure its only about a 2% raise from the hourly figure we signed in '98 (inflation figured in). For a company that profits billions, this isn't what is acceptable.

For you FedEx guys, please finish negotiations soon and raise the bar where it needs to be. That way we can use you as leverage so we can further raise the bar. So on and so forth. From the initial reaction from the members I have heard from this is a NO VOTE, almost exclusively. Time will tell. Until then, I say "GO PURPLE GUYS! DO WHAT, SO FAR, WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DO! DELIVER AN INDUSTRY LEADING CONTRACT!"
