[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 664021, member: 22662"] Contrary to popular belief, I do get it. There is alot of frustration at Fedex. Employees don't like the employment situation and want to change it. The company doesn't want it changed and at this point in time holds all the cards. So what's the employee to do? It's probably insensitive to mock the circumstance, but I don't apologize for it. It seems to me that as volatile as the situation is, people looking for a painless, easy, or quick solution are being unrealistic and time is not on their side. History has always shown that those in power don't easily give it up. Why would Express be any different? As "well connected" as Smith is, do you really think Washington is your ally? We could debate ad nauseum the fairness of it all and though interesting, the situation would not change. The reality would remain. Here's how daunting your challenge is. Ground is covered under the NLRA already. No movement toward unionizing one bit from what I've see either from within or without. So Express is trying to get to get to where Ground is already. In fact years ago there were some RPS terminals that were unionized. So not only is Fedex and corporate America well versed in preventing union formation, but in breaking them as well. And no I'm not saying it's right, only that this is another part of the huge task that one is undertaking in looking to the teamsters. [/QUOTE]
