[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1109518, member: 12508"] You two need to stop the infighting and just agree to disagree. I agree that our future options will be to "accept it or leave", which isn't too much different from what we have right now. The difference is that we still have the chance to do something about it by attempting to organize. I personally think that it's going to take them longer than they expect to sort out DRA, which is a good thing for us. The IBT may eventually have to take notice [B]if[/B] we give them a reason to, [I]and [/I]if their membership (UPS) starts advocating for the IBT to jump on the Express bandwagon of discontent. If all we ever do is bitch, nothing is going to happen. However, if we start signing cards, and get UPS drivers and stewards informed and interested in our cause, things could begin to move. Imagine what happens if we get thousands of cards signed and UPS drivers start talking to Express couriers and telling them, in plain language, just how much better their pay and benefits are? And what if UPS Teamsters start pushing the IBT National to start a campaign? Again, nothing happens unless we get enough cards signed to make it obvious to the IBT that they aren't wasting their time on an Express organization drive. We have nothing to lose by trying.
