[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1121346, member: 32753"] All I wonder is, with all the horror stories on the plight of the blue-collar worker, WHY are unions dying? It should be too easy to organization these places, even Walmart, with their legendary rep for quelching union drives. I can see why Fedex is hard to organize-they have a law that makes it hard to organize, but Walmart? Just scare tactics. I have often had thoughts about the Teamsters sending a sort of "infiltration" team into FedEx-people who would get employed solely to organization the place on the inside, knowing they probably get fired, but they'd so to get the ball rolling, and once they are gone, someone else gets hired to take their place. However, such an operation would have to be massive to organize FedEx, but Walmart, whixh can be organized on a store-by-store basis? And it can be done discreetly and incognito, inviting fellow workers "for lunch" or "to watch the game", away from the job and the prying eyes of management. Are there any wealthy people out there sympathetic to the union cause willing to start a fund to support those who would so this, providing them with a living in-between "assignments", I.e. some outfit in retail itching to be organized. Also, I am aware Walmart will close a store before letting it be organize. Will they leave an entire urban area? state? region? Send 3 "agents" per store to all the stores in a region, force Walmart to face organizing. [/QUOTE]
