[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1191073, member: 42270"] Exactly. While this article mentions another attempted raid on TWU, it mentions the IAM mechanics as well: [URL="http://aviationblog.dallasnews.com/2013/08/teamsters-drop-effort-to-organize-american-airlines-mechanics.html/"]Teamsters drop effort to organize American Airlines mechanics | Airline Biz Blog[/URL] With only 10% (and dropping) of the US work force organized, there's few reasons for the IBT to be sinking cash into campaigns against other unions. I came across this article last week and, although it focuses on unions that use Right-to-Work as an excuse for not organizing in the south, I feel that it can be applied to the RLA situation in regards to FedEx: [URL]http://www.southernstudies.org/2013/08/creating-a-culture-of-unionism-in-the-south.html[/URL] If a true grass roots effort emerges at Express and cards start coming in from terminals all over the country, then we would absolutely need to get some skin in the game and give the labor movement a shot in the arm.
