[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2204934, member: 12508"] Smith has successfully created a FedEx Express that is essentially union-proof. The IBT knows this, and that's why they won't even answer phone calls from Express employees. The RLA and the Express Carrier Exemption in combination with the anti-union culture ensure no union in the foreseeable future. Pretty much zero chance. "Taking a stand" at Express means that most of us would lose our jobs and be replaced by some $15 per hour import from aThird World country where FedEx would be a dream job compared to what they had. The only way this would really work is for [B]everyone [/B]to just stop working and sit there, and that won't happen. Too many fearful folks and Purple People who wouldn't participate. The one workgroup that could really make this happen is the RTDs, although they could be quickly replaced by a third party trucking outsource firm, so any damage would be short-term. It's criminal, but Mr. Smith has played the system and the politicians just right, and his millions in investments in the right players has paid off for him big time. [/QUOTE]
