[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 547157, member: 4932"] Got an email from retireerel today, stating that Atlanta had been swamped by calls, letters, etc. from UPSers past and present clamoring for action on this. Lots of us remember the PR debacle of 1997 and don't want that repeated. Linked to feedback pages to send our thoughts to Scott and the rest of the big boys. Me, I personally think Fred is engaged in this to distract from the earnings call coming up. Threatening to cancel his Boeing contract tells me he is desperate to deflect attention away from his shrinking market share. Even if the legislation passes, it is a long, tough slog for any organizing effort, even under the NLRB. That's why organized labor is so hot to trot for card check, remember? Either Fred has the package volume to use the airplanes, or he doesn't. Getting his hub workers and couriers classed under the NLRB isn't going to change that. Me, I think he doesn't have the volume, and this campaign is the shiny thing to pull the financial analysts' eyes away from the facts. Just like burying a 1.2 billion dollar writeoff deep in his SEC filings. (See Motley Fool) [/QUOTE]
