[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 925232, member: 22880"] Once you've filled it out, mail it to... International Brotherhood of Teamsters Attn: Ted Perez 25 Louisiana Avenue, NW Washington DC, 20001 If you're serious, save and print out as many copies of the PDF as you have people in your station. Have envelopes with each of them with the address and postage already attached. DON'T hand write anything on something like this that management can use to identify you for retaliation, you'll have to be quiet about this. Use adhesive labels which you can run through your printer for the address, then affix the address to each envelope. If you don't have a printer at home, going to a print shop and having them print out enough self adhesive labels isn't a big deal. Just make sure you have the mailing address correct.... This will cost you a few bucks, but nothing in the world that is worth having, is free and without effort - there is a cost in terms of cash and time that you will have to invest. COLUMN-The corporations that occupy Congress: Johnston - TrustLaw It does look like the fedxmx site has been updated again - they did so in December. The above article was linked by them. Once you've gotten over the anger factor, start to engage in careful, deliberative action to beat Fred and his efforts to undercompensate you and everyone else that works in Express. The odds are against you, but if enough feel like you do, you might just obtain critical mass to get a certification vote. Be forewarned, it will be you and your coworkers as individuals, against the Colossus of FedEx Corporation, which is definately out to smash any attempts at labor organizing. You will have a target placed on you if management knows you are engaged in organizing - it is something that you will have to deal with. And to restate what has been said in months past, the Teamsters won't step in UNTIL they have enough cards signed (in their opinion) to support a certification vote of a majority in craft. A vote can be held with less than a majority signing cards to petition for a vote, but the Teamsters have made it rather clear (in non-public discussion) that they won't push for a vote until and unless they have enough signed cards that would practically guarantee an affirmative decision as to certification. In the time between now (grassroots organizing) and the certification of union representation, you are on your own against FedEx Corporation - be damn careful. When I was on my way out of Express, I engaged in open organizing and had I not already had a departure date already set for myself, I would've been terminated for what Express was setting me up for "work practices". They will use any little thing (and even invent stuff) to build documentation on you to set you up for either the three strikes (Three active Warning Letters) or a single event in which they can hand you your termination notice without them fearing a lawsuit in return.
