[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 867006, member: 22880"] As far as Express was concerned, getting the IBT into one of the operating segments would've been significant to show the IBT was willing to expend some effort. Believe me, Express employees know they are getting shafted. There are two things which they know even more assuredly: that any attempt within Express to openly organize will be met with terminations galore, the IBT will cut and run if the going gets a bit rough for them. Combine these two factors and Express employees aren't going to do a thing. The other thing is that with the RLA, any attempt MUST be done on a national basis - no local cherry picking by any union. Then the future business plans of Express include shedding as many full-time wage employees as possible while outsourcing the performance of "services" to other segments with a lower cost of operations. All combined, this means that a snowball has better odds of existing in hell, than Express does of unionizing. [/QUOTE]
