[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 545444, member: 16651"] dannyboy; Hope you're wrong....suspect you're right. Sometimes I think we were better off when the company was following its "no advertising" policy. As for "salesguy"...well, I wish that 425,000 employees would write letters, but, at best, I suspect just the U.S. ones have much interest, and that it will be only a small fraction of them who'll take that interest up to a higher level. Even then, if it's just so many form letters/emails, I'm not sure if they'll have much impact. Hopefully I've being over-pessimistic here. And, as I've said before, I'm not too sure if, in the long run, it will make that much difference anyway. With the introduction of the Internet, I can't help but feel that "Railway Act" status isn't as important as it used to be; i.e. - organizing nationally isn't the same as even 20 years ago, when communicating was a complicated, expensive process. Nor can I help but remember that FedEx Ground (and I'm not talking about the contractors here, but the thousands of Ground workers that are direct employees) have been available for organization for decades now, and the Teamsters haven't made an effort worthy of the name toward bringing them in the fold. But, again, perhaps I'm too much of a pessimist. [/QUOTE]
