[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1100537, member: 22880"] Not sure if I understand you. Most drop boxes are only checked by one Courier - maybe two if a swing covers a PU route in a given week (Mondays for example). Are you suggesting placing cards in the drop box and then getting out the word that, 'rep cards are in the drop box at the corner of Main and 4th Ave'? Problem with that is that station management would get the message too through the station grapevine, then drive out the the drop box with HR, examine the drop box, find the cards, document what they found and photograph the 'scene', then pull in the Courier they suspect for 'inappropriate use of Express property/equipment'. It is a difficult proposition. You need to do some face to face campaigning, find out who is sympathetic and who is actively hostile to the concept of organizing, then hand them a card in person with all the information they need to send it in. The really important thing to do is to 'network' with Couriers in surrounding stations and have them start to campaign in their station. RLA makes organizing Express a nationwide gig - no easy task when there are hundreds of stations across the country that have absolutely NO CONTACT between wage employees in the stations (RLA 'assumes' that employees have a method of regular communication amongst each other - something Express leaves out in its talking points when it comes to its justifying RLA classification). In management literature regarding organizing activities of their employees (union avoidance training), they make it clear to the managers that when their employees begin organizing activities, that the employees are 'declaring war' against both their employer and their management. That literature is quite correct. You would be declaring war on your employer. The thing is, FedEx Corporation declared war against its wage employees in Express years ago - they just didn't come right out and say as much. Isn't it time that you either fight back or get the hell out of the war zone??? [/QUOTE]
