[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 518806, member: 12508"] Nobody is arguing that FedEx cannot lobby. FedEx may have been formed as an express carrier, but it's now a systems integrator, just like UPS. Using that logic, UPS should also have an RLA exemption, shouldn't it? Of course, the IBT wants members. But it's a given that Smith wants to keep his employees underpaid as well. If your username reflects your hire date, you only have about 5 more years until you top out...think that's fair? And NewEnglander is right. In today's economy, UPS could handle the extra volume, so the disruption of trade and business argument is bogus too. I'm guessing you agree with Fred's blackmail tactics using Boeing as a pawn to leverage the IBT against the IAM and to pressure key Congess members to make sure that France doesn't build Fred's new planes. Smith is a piece of crap, and if you agree with his tactics, you deserve to be under his whip. [/QUOTE]
