Exactly! We are a Professional Association of highly compensated skilled labor.

This sort of post has but ONE purpose: To drive us apart along political lines. I won't comment on the motives of various parties.

During contract negotiations [in a time in which it is obvious that the company is earning BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars!] the ONLY reason that I can think of for that sort of post is for DIVISION.

We have the freedom of speech. That's granted. That doesn't mean that you need to exercise it 24/7~

Please.....

Lets [please] leave the SEIU and other divisive issues among the Fedex crew force ALONE. I want one thing-

I want one thing:

I want a CONTRACT!!!!!!!!

....By the way, did I mention that I want a CONTRACT?

One of the most Brilliant post I've read on here in s while. Just from reading on here I observe how much of a powerful crew force you guys are. However you all are easily divided but simple different political opinions. Well said Mark, Well said.

OK...sure.

If any pilot union walks after the RLA dog and pony show allows it, you can bet your bottom dollar SEIU members would cross in a heartbeat no matter how many Occupy rallies you attend or how many bumper stickers you paste on your flight bag.

How many of you newly found crusaders have honored another union's picket lines at personal expense?

How many of you newly found crusaders openly supported Teamsters drive to organize FDX?

Sorry, but symbolism over substance is just that...symbolic. Until you've actually put something on the line, it's all chin music.

Je suis Charlie:rolleyes:

I am with you, the above posts were in reaction to a guy who wanted to label anyone who would vote not to his liking as a nazi loving Jew in other threads. If you think we are being divisive you have not read the posts. There is one side in the left right debate that is not "tolerant", which side it is is plain if you want to look for it.

I have not mentioned the SEIU lanyard fiasco since the MEC chairman (wisely) admitted it was probably a mistake and divisive to issue them. Others can't seem to let it go and insist his comrades follow his lead toward utopia.

PS this right winger thinks labor has been much to accommodating to management when it comes to our operation.

PPS I want a contract.

"...Dems on the transportation subcommittee helped keep TCAS off freighters for years...."

Ha! Forgot about that one! Because, of course, there are so few planes flying at night when the freighters are out and about.

One of the final straws was a UPS 747 had a loss of separation with Air Force One in Shanwick.

You don't have the slightest idea why Labor fails to get anything done in this country. This kind of attitude is why.

You and JP have something in common. A mindset that let JP feel free to espouse such total crap in his departure message after spending 2 yrs stalling and holding the CBA process back. JP thinks WE (you) are the Marxists.

It's o.k. for labor to be treated poorly unless it affects your paycheck. Good job.


BTW, management has no money and still needs concessions. so they can leverage the (all cash) TNT deal....
