[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 703528, member: 12508"] Sigh. Again, you don't get it. There is tremendous internal will within FedEx to organize, but there is a 36-year wall of defenses in place that make it very difficult for an hourly employee to do anything without outside assistance. That's where the Teamsters come in, or where they should be coming in, but are not. If the IBT offered some legal assistance and education, there would be a much better chance of success. My point is that they are showing very little leadership at a point where they need to be showing a lot. If they are depending on the dysfunctional Democrats to get the job done, that's a big mistake too. UPS is probably wasting a lot of lobbying money on a party that can't get their act together on much of anything. My connections go pretty close to the top. From what they tell me, there are more than a few top-level execs that would like to take the company in a different direction than Smith. They're smart enough to realize that he's done more harm than good in recent years, and that it's time for some new leadership. They're also smart enough not to commit career suicide by ever voicing it openly. The 3 individuals I know all want to keep the IBT out too, but via different means than Smith, who sees no need to change anything. Maybe they're the only 3 that feel this way, but I doubt it. Anyway, I enjoy debating you. [/QUOTE]
