[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 703322, member: 12508"] Read my last post. "Standing-up for ourselves" gets you fired at FedEx. They hold all the cards right now. If we walk off, we're fired on the spot. If we distribute union materials in breakrooms or in the parking lot, you're as good as fired because every manager in that station will be setting your butt up for something they can terminate you on. If you do get fired and attempt legal action, you're up against a company brimming with lawyers well-versed in making sure employees either go broke trying, or just plain lose in court. There are internal memos that detail every step a manager must take if they even suspect that an employee is trying to promote a union. Totally against the law, yet standard operating procedure. We tried ground-up back in the 90's and the Teamsters promised us full support, which was a lie. They've done little in the past dozen years to either educate or organize FedEx workers, and that will hurt their chances of support even if the RLA goes away. We still have a lot of people who drink the Kool-Aid, and would never vote IBT because they think Smith is on their side, so the battle is going to be uphill anyway. FedEx is very similar to WalMart in the way they seek and destroy anyone or anything that remotely resembles support for a union. You simply do not understand the environment, the company, or the situation. Please continue with the meaningless platitudes about us not wanting it, deserving it, or being willing to fight for it. I've spent 25 plus years in the FedEx culture, I understand it, and I know what goes on behind the scenes because I'm connected to the top in ways that cannot be disclosed. I have access to the memos, the conversations, and the inside information, again, by means that would get some very big names fired. They trust me not to disclose who they are or why they would also like Smith gone. There are [I]many [/I]top execs at FedEx who cannot stand Fred S or the way he operates. I won't sell them out because they trusted me to tell the truth. [/QUOTE]
