[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 545258, member: 16651"] Agreed. However, I think, if possible, UPSers ought to make it as painful as possible for those who are thinking of voting against the legislation that removes FedEx from under the auspices of the Railway Act. With that in mind (and I'm usually not that gung-ho on such campaigns) it would be nice to see a bunch of email, telephone calls, whatever to applicable U.S. Senators, and some responses to the news media blogs where - from what I've seen this morning - the forces of FedEx are holding sway. We need to get the word out that "fair is fair"....and this is a case where even Republicans - if duly "pressured" - shouldn't have that many qualms for supporting what far-too-many view as a "union" measure. Not too sure that even if FedEx is put under the NLRA that the Teamsters will have much luck in organizing them....but, as it stands now, FedEx is getting what amounts to a subsidy from the government. And all this while having the gall to maintain that UPS is the one asking for it. [/QUOTE]
