[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1107622, member: 12508"] An independent union wouldn't work, just ask our pilots, who had an "in-house" union before they decided (wisely) to go ALPA. Fred was able to get around it, so they went with an established union Smith couldn't screw around with. Who really knows what Fred has done behind-the-scenes to entice the IBT to not make a full-fledged effort to organize Express? The Teamsters aren't exactly known for being squeaky-clean. For example, Hoffa Sr. regularly raided the Teamsters Pension Fund to loan money to the mob so they could build Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, and other gambling venues. There have fairly regularly been accusations of improprieties having to do with Teamster leaders. Is Hoffa Jr. dirty? I don't really know either way, but Fred S does a lot of things that aren't above board. To think that all of his "activities" are accounted-for isn't very realistic. There are a lot of ways to buy politicians, regulators, and union leaders that don't show-up on the books. [/QUOTE]
