[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 706340, member: 12508"] I'll kill two birds with one stone here. First, what The Mayor said in the meeting isn't going to get him fired. It will probably get him watched more closely, but even FedEx management is starting to get the Big Picture (pun intended) that the natives are restless. In the past, they've allowed "bitch sessions" or "venting" because it suits their purposes. Individuals get to express their concerns in a limited venue, and management considers the problem "solved". Even if Smith wins his special RLA deal, there are lots of ticked-off employees these days. There aren't that many consumers of the Kool-Aid anymore. Even the perpetually stupid ones are starting to wise-up. Second, I do my fighting behind the scenes by contacting politicians via phone, email, and letter. Because the flaccid and weak Teamsters won't get behind us until they smell cash (an RLA defeat for Smith), we're at Fred's mercy if we fight back in conventional ways. The Mayor is smart enough to know his limits, as are most of us. If he were to start posting Teamster literature in the breakroom or stand around outside the parking lot after work handing-out brochures, he'd be in deep poop in short order. He knows it, I know it, but you don't know it because you don't understand the way FedEx Express works when it comes to union-busting. They are very good at it. [/QUOTE]
