[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1101531, member: 22880"] I wrote before, the internet and social networking are the best tools the wage employees of Express have to use to overcome the hurdle of the RLA in attempting to organize. However... If you go back in forum history - I mean way back, all you'll see is a lot of bitching and moaning. No real constructive commitment to actual organizing. I had to go through the 'education process' back in late 2009 and early 2010 to learn about peculiarities of the IBT, RLA and the Express Couriers. It was an experience. I liken it to "Groundhog Day 2: Nightmare in Express". The same thing happens over and over and over and over here... and nothing really changes. The bitching and moaning remains the same, and no action is taken to get out of the endless loop. Yes the complaining is a stress reliever for those experiencing the nightmare of FedEx, you kick some mud in Fred face, feel better about a bad day and go to bed. Problem is you wake up the next morning to your alarm clock (who knows if "I've got you babe" is playing...) and do it all over again. The kicker to Groundhog Day 2, is that each day you do the same day over again, you have less and less in your pocket. You aren't maintaining ground financially, you are slowly losing ground with each repeat of the day. In the first movie, Bill Murray had to stop being an ass and become a real human being and express his love to get the endless repeat of February 2nd from occurring. In Groundhog Day 2, there are two potential endings. Either the wage employee will decide to leave FedEx or will recognize the need to organize and stop the process of losing financial ground with each successive day you spend at Express. Only then will the alarm clock sound and it will be 6 AM on February 3rd instead of another repeat of February 2nd. [/QUOTE]
