[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 995402, member: 12508"] The Kool-Aid drinkers are a big problem, but the larger issue is the RLA itself. The IBT knows that organizing Express would be difficult, but since they've never really expended much effort anyway, they don't really know what kind of support there would be for a union. The 800 lb gorilla in the room is the anti-union environment at FedEx. From Day 1, new employees are bombarded with anti-union sentiment and quickly become aware that they'd better keep their mouths shut about unionizing. Every station has the Railway Labor Act of [B]1934[/B] posted somewhere (usually in the breakroom), which is interesting because there wasn't anything even remotely resembling an "Express Carrier" in 1934, the verbage used for Fred's Express Carrier Exemption. REA, which used trains and trucks, was very different from an "airline". It's a joke, but so are the Teamsters, especially Mr. Hoffa. [/QUOTE]
