[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 980191, member: 22880"] Your "exit strategy" was to hold out as long as you could, then book a flight to Central America to find some poor girl to exploit? What did I miss? Have you already made your reservation and not told anyone yet? You keep on rationalizing as to what you've seen in rural Texas (and rural America) and making suppositions that the rest of the country is similar. I know Express operations in non-rural areas (the overwhelming majority of volume is through these areas). Your error is using what you are familiar with and generalizing to the nation as a whole. The US isn't west Texas. And no, I'm not a union organizer (it would be nice to get paid for the time I spend posting here, but it is solely something I do in spare time). If a union organizer got paid more that I currently make, I'd definitely put in my resume to the IBT and give it a shot. There are maybe 100 readers to this list that aren't UPS employees. The "reach" of this forum is just too damn small (even if I were an organizer) to even bother spending time writing here for someone seriously attempting to organize. I think organizing IS the best option for Express employees, but I've stated over and over again that this isn't going to happen. It is people such as YOURSELF who are to blame for Express not unionizing - people who though they could "out think" FedEx and place their trust in Fred.
