[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 959817, member: 22880"] The IBT will thank whoever asks them for their interest in organizing, give them some literature and a stack of union representation cards and then basically say: "Best of luck!" Anyone who's read this forum for more than a few months knows what is going on in Express... The IBT is focusing its efforts on Freight right now - they won't even touch Express until and unless they get all of the Freight semi drivers organized and under a contract - then can show the Express RTD's what the IBT can do and start working on them. Given the recent procedural changes in how labor in a RLA covered company must petition for a vote - organizing Express is about as likely as an 90 degree day in Antarctica (in otherwords, if you are working for Express and want to have a future, GET OUT!). There are just too many useful idiots working for Fred that won't sign cards to enable an election to even be a threat to Express now. The speaker that is in the above videos wrote a book about 20 years ago: "Confessions of a Union Buster" by Martin Levitt It can be had on Amazon, but since it is out of print, it can only be purchased used at a reasonable price. Another old book (but valuable for those who don't know to what degree corporations will go to in order to fight unions) is a book by Nathan Shefferman, "The Man in the Middle" written in 1961. It is very hard to get, but it is a good start into looking at the tactics of how union busters work. [/QUOTE]
