[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1652232, member: 12508"] The union enjoys dues paying members[I] if[/I] they win elections. Fred has made it impossible for a non-IBT assisted Express to organize. He has the RLA, the Express Carrier Exemption, and an army of politicians in his back pocket. Fred handles it much in the manner of WalMart, where anti-union action against employees is the order of the day. Guess what WalMart does when the NLRB rules against it? They [B]ignore [/B]the ruling and do business as usual. Smith operates the same way. Despite the official corporate line that "we are not against unions in any way", it's obvious that Fred holds all the cards in a game which we cannot win, [B]unless [/B]a third party gets off it's collective ass, decides that it wants to be a player instead of a passive observer, and [I]gain [/I]some membership by mounting a national organization movement. Your viewpoint is ridiculous because it assumes there is a level playing field and that Mr. Smith is playing by the rules. He makes the rules, he's the referee, and he owns the team and the league officials. There is no "game" until the IBT decides they want to compete. [/QUOTE]
