[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 718141, member: 12508"] No, the local union wouldn't shut down FedEx...Smith would. If we voted for a union, one would assume from his previous statements that Fred would probably lock-out workers or refuse to negotiate. The hypothetical LAX closure would be a result of Mr Smith's refusal to acknowledge and/or bargain with the union for a fair and equitable contract. Neither "fair" nor "equitable" are in Smith's vocabulary. As I've said before, Fred is a free market capitalist. Based on that ideology, other companies would swiftly move-in to fill the void caused by a shutdown of FedEx Express, and he shouldn't have a problem with that. That's the risk he takes if he doesn't negotiate, so it would be ironic if he cuts his own throat by refusing to make a deal with his employees. As a free market person, Fred shouldn't have an issue with UPS and the IBT "cooperating" because that's "just business" much in the same way he purchases politicians. Isn't that also "cooperation"? By the way, I don't think UPS and the Teamsters could collaborate long enough to jointly construct a paper airplane, much less fight against FedEx. [/QUOTE]
