[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 57606"] DHL is being organized bit by bit as the company is a conglomerate of tons of twelve people companies in reality. Will this turn into an overall union majority, time will tell. Fedex, probably not unless the contractor issue goes solidly towards the workers advantage (another tough sell with the current political atmosphere). Overnite, they are what, something like 13-15 percent Teamster now and I would say much of the anti-union atmosphere was generated by the extremely anti-union owners. Now the "owners" are UPS, so only time will tell what happens there. The AFL/CIO more like "backed" the bankrolling of the '97 strike and I believe one could make the case that eight years of affiliation dues pretty much put paid to that "thank you". It's all politics and philosophical differences on how to "grow" the unions in this split and personally I don't see this as having any major negative impact on the entire union issue. I wouldn't be surprised if Hoffa starts asking us to turn in union "sales leads" now.
