[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1120999, member: 22880"] In regards to the organizing attempt in Brockton MA. Written October 2011 by myself.... [I]I started posting to this site again (after a hiatus between mid 2010 and August 2011, between which I ended my employment at Express), in what was a futile hope that the [COLOR=#64543D][B]IBT[/B][/COLOR] had finally managed to get their foot into the door of FedEx, through a [COLOR=#64543D][B]Ground[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#64543D][B]terminal[/B][/COLOR] in [COLOR=#64543D][B]Massachusetts[/B][/COLOR]. As readers to this forum know, FedEx sent in their union busting team, they canned a few white managers and replaced them with black managers (the handlers were overwhelming non-white in this station), then managed to somehow convince the handlers that they'd be better off in not voting to certify union representation. Just a few days before the certification election was to be held, the [COLOR=#64543D][B]IBT[/B][/COLOR] withdrew their petition for a certification election to be held - presumably to save face in what was appearing to be an imminent victory for FedEx. In the two months since, there hasn't been a single word come out of either the [COLOR=#64543D][B]IBT[/B][/COLOR], or news media - as to the reason for the withdrawal of the petition. If you hadn't followed the event here - most likely you would've never known it happened in the first place. The important players (the [COLOR=#64543D][B]IBT[/B][/COLOR] and FedEx), knew exactly what happened. FedEx made a small public statement, and then let it go - they didn't want to advertise the fact that there was a location where they had to bust up unionizing activity. The [COLOR=#64543D][B]IBT[/B][/COLOR] wanted to prevent too much loss of face, so they kept their mouth shut - didn't happen, don't look here, and move along.[/I] Read more: [URL]http://www.browncafe.com/forum/f50/brown-bailout-fedex-mechanic-sites-inactive-over-7-months-340919/#ixzz2QL4UM7iZ[/URL] [/QUOTE]
