[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4400181, member: 24302"] And you have it all wrong. The RLA was created to prevent wildcat strikes from local unions. Made it so there was one union that required a national vote. Not on a shop by shop basis. And what you never seem to consider is it isn't just what Fred wanted. When the FAA bill in 2010 had the attachment to it taking us out of the RLA do you think business owners across the country didn't voice their displeasure with their local Congressman? The reason Bezos went in the direction he did was because shipping takes a real bite out of a company's bottom line. If you think they were rooting for the employees because they liked their local courier you're kidding yourself. And I never said UPS NDA is less critical than what FedEx is shipping. But most of their freight is trucked, and a union is already in. Their volume allows, with trucking, them to pay considerably more than FedEx. It's why FedEx created a Ground division, more profit. Just face it, you and I backed the wrong horse way back when. We fell for the propaganda. The difference is I've accepted it for the most part. You want revenge. [/QUOTE]
