[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 722495, member: 12508"] All that the end of the RLA Exemption would change is our ability to organize locally. It does not mean that we'll go union, although it's a big start in the right direction. Both the IBT and UPS stand to gain...that's a given. The Teamsters gain members, strength, dues, and funding for their pension funds. UPS gets a level playing field and FedEx loses it's illegal and unethical competitive advantage. That's the game in a nutshell, so see, I do get the big picture after all. So, if we're all as happy as you, why does Fred fear losing the exemption so much? Because he knows that a lot of locations are more than ready to go union. The ironic thing is that FedEx could have avoided the whole issue by being fair with it's employees. If Smith hadn't slashed our wages and retirement, most employees wouldn't even want the Teamsters. Instead, Smith took the WalMart approach, and look where we're at now. I've never said unionizing is a "magic pill". What I [B][I]have[/I][/B] repeatedly said is that the Teamsters are a better choice than continuing to be completely under Fred's thumb. Get it straight.
