[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1110463, member: 17969"] Inside UPS, maybe the first thing YOU need to understand is the law. We have covered this issue many times on this board over the years, and yet, there is always someone posting this story "as if" it was a new story. The Teamsters "CANNOT" organize fedex air operations as they are covered under the National Railway Act. The Teamsters, however are attempting to organize the "independent contractors" working the ground ops, but as soon as they are organized, Fedex is letting them go. Second, it takes an ACT of Congress to change FEDEX to the jurisdiction of the NLRB, and with the GOP holding control of the house, this will NEVER HAPPEN. The Dems have attempted to bring a bill to the floor, but the GOP has killed it in committee several times. Both UPS and the USPS are backers of this action, yet, the Republicans are doing their best to protect Fred S by not allowing the bills to come to the floor. All the "chatter" about organizing is all for nothing until Congress changes FEDEX status. You called the teamsters ""Complacency, laziness, and apathy are counterproductive to strong representation."", however, "[B]INCOMPETENCY[/B]" to the way the laws are written and applied is far worse. I suggest you do your homework first. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
