So what is ALPA at Fed Ex's position on the Teamsters organizing on the property? That might be the turd you speak of, and it does kinda stink if you're the one making less than their counterpart across the street.

Would my UPS coworkers please shut up and stop putting salt in the wound. These guys are getting screwed. We are lucky to be at UPS at this moment. It could be us, and it has been me in the past. Now, just leave it be, and stop making us look so bad.

FDX ALPA's position is the same as it is at all ALPA carriers. WE WANT IT ALL. I have close friends at FDX and DL who want everyone on property to be non union accept the Pilots. It's called Greed. The pie is only so big, and we want the biggest piece.

This is why you never see support for others to get a better life/work rules at work from the unionized pilots at DL or FDX.

But they only admit it after a couple of Beers.

Bullship. I'll bet I have talked to more FDX pilots than you. I haven't heard anyone talk against anyone joining a union. The reaction is either full support or ambivalence. As long as it is a fair election let them have it.

Besides I thought unions made the workers more productive. That makes the pie bigger. Read up on your propaganda.

Wrong. Ask again. Has FDX ALPA ever publicly supported its Drivers or MX. to Unionize? Has DL? There's your answer. Since your profile says your an FE, maybe your new to this game.

Absolutely, positively, they have publicly supported the drives to unionize.

You need to do 2 or 3 minutes of research before blurting out such nonsense.

Your assumptions are wrong in many ways.

1. Pilots at FDX support union membership for anyone that wants it.

2. FDX ALPA would cross it's membership in heartbeat if they thought they could gain a victory for big labor.

3. I am much more likely to know what FDX pilots want than you are.

Yes, on numerous occasions. Time to make up something else and throw it out as fact. You're busted on this one.

I've never read it or seen this happen. For example, the FDX Non-union contractors. There's court cases all over the US with Attorney Generals saying they are employees. and FDX has lost every time. And I haven't heard a peep from FDX ALPA supporting these guys. I dont think FDX has won one case when it comes to this.

All my buddies say they would rather everyone on property stay non-union. More money for us. The only problem is, your leader is a guy named Webb who golfs with Fred.
