[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 724632, member: 22880"] You conviently edited out the text before and after your snippet. ""The only option the wage employees have is to have Express reclassified under NLRA rules, organize quickly and strike. There is no hope of having a collective bargaining agreement absent a strike at this point and most realize it." The only option... as in, any other options are non-viable. I didn't say it was likely to happen, but it is the only option wage employees have if they want to stop what is happening. Don't confuse something that is the sole viable option with something that is likely to occur or be utilized necesarily. History is legion with examples of groups only viable alternatives not being pursued because the options were seen as too difficult or unlikely to succeed. It took/takes leadership in this cases to make things happen. This battle with FedEx - it is a battle - isn't going to be won by the timid. Battles like this are never won by the timid and those that constantly think it can't be done. Fred WANTS the employees of Express to think it can't be done, that prevents him from having to fight a long battle. If the employees want it bad enough, they'll learn that they'll have to be willing to take a risk and experience some short-term loss in order to make it happen. It may only have a 20% chance of happening in the next 24 months, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. [/QUOTE]
