[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 866469, member: 24302"] Awhile back when it looked possible that the RLA would be terminated by the Democrats I had quite a few discussions with coworkers about unionizing. Looks now like I was sticking my neck out with a serious risk of getting fired. I wonder if the IBT would've made a serious effort even if FedEx lost the RLA battle? What everything has boiled down to is we've just spent years venting about the way things are but have had no real backing from those with the power or money to implement real change. If anything we were used as leverage in a bill to get concessions on other things. During that process I remember Fred S saying he would take care of those who've stayed with him. He was supposedly referring to senior couriers but considering what may be going on with senior couriers right now he must've meant investors. About all we can do at this point is look for clues that major changes are about to happen and get ourselves prepared for them. I've mentioned to several coworkers that I believe Express will soon be an overnight service with our hours slashed. Since I was the one talking about a possible union soon they're looking at me like the boy who cried wolf. And if things don't change quickly people tend to not believe it until it finally affects them. One question: will FedEx want the ISP to be implemented in all 50 states before giving Ground our 2 and 3 day freight? [/QUOTE]
