Teamsters and Memphis Aircraft Maintenance Employees Announce Meeting

A message from the FedxMX Memphis Organizing Committeee:

Announcing The FedEx Express Maintenance Job Families Informational Meeting

We, as FedEx Express employees, have lived and enjoyed working for a company that has historically utilized a PSP philosophy. Take care of your people and your people will take care of you. This worked well for FedEx as the company established itself and developed a new industry.

Today, we live and work in an environment that dictates that the company no longer wished to do business as a company and must evolve into a corporation. This transition signaled an end to the PSP philosophy for us.

We, for many years now, have lived and worked under a false sense of hope and security. Corporate greed has taken from us many benefits, some of which we took for granted. The Corporation has shown us, with a simple letter, that they can betray our trust by changing our retirement pension and continuously decrease our benefits. These changes have occurred while FedEx is enjoying record profits. The Corporation has shown us what we need to do in order to secure our future and livelihood here at FedEx.

We need a union now!

As everyone has seen, we can give our best effort to provide and support the "promise." We are told if we work smart, we will be rewarded for our efforts. In the end when the profits and SQI are added up, we ultimately received nothing for those efforts. Then, management receives some of the largest payouts in history as their bonus. They give us zero while they receive large sums of "our" hard earned money.

The Teamsters have proven that they can solidify a contract that is both favorable and fair to all employees they represent. They are the strongest and have the longest history of standing up to corporate greed, securing a favorable future and providing a strong UNIFIED voice for all workers they represent.

We have invited the Teamsters here to give you an opportunity to stand up for yourselves and let your voice be heard. You and your family deserve a contract that ensures you have a fair and equitable stake in the fortunes of YOUR FedEx. We must start taking control of our lives. Stand up for yourself, get involved and sign a card. This is our future: we must secure that future with strong unity, a strong voice and a strong union!

We need the Teamsters now!

United We Bargain, Divided We Beg
