A contract vote at 57% is still a "thin win" on the union's side, regardless of what the vote entails.

It's much, much closer to the 50.1% that management wants versus the 100% that the union should try to accomplish.

BTW, FDX wages rates are still 30% below what UA and DAL had A DECADE AGO.

I do applaud the attempt to get a deal that keeps things from stagnating, but at an eminently profitable company, there could have been a lot more easy little things cleaned up that weren't.

Apparently a majority think that it was enough. and they need to stand together and be ready for the re-opening of Sec. 6 with the need to address the new FT/DT that comes out soon. Who knows, maybe leadership feels they will have lots more leverage with FT/DT changes and really no leverage now, so they took what they could and will apply leverage with the now even higher numbers....IDK.
