[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 893258, member: 12508"] Amazingly, there are still a lot of "believers" out there, and convincing them that FedEx doesn't have their best interests at heart is difficult. After the latest craziness, there are fewer of them, but still a lot of fence-sitters who are afraid to do anything (overt [I]or[/I] covert) to try and create an environment for change. "Under the radar" is still the watchword. IMO, we could still do a lot of damage by just screwing things up....in a smart way. I recently talked with an IAM organizer, and he said essentially what you have---that FedEx is the IBT's turf. I think Fred is going to get his way again in regard to the RLA changes, and what we're seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg as far as worker oppression and intimidation go. The upside of this is that Express is rapidly reaching the tipping point at which they begin to lose large accounts due to poor service. I've already heard rumblings that there are some very pissed major shippers. This peak is forecast to be a heavy one, and if FedEx "fails", some big names are going to be looking elsewhere. The only thing holding them (management) back right now is peak. Once it's over, watch the hatchet start to work it's "magic". [/QUOTE]
