Now that would never work. Employees walking out will be fired by management on the spot. If you can get employees willing to walk out, you should be able to get them to join a union. Joining a union is a lot easier and less risky than walking off the job. Once you get a union, then you can strike after a vote, but to just have people walk off the job, you'll be fired in a heartbeat. I think there's enough anger and discontent that a union is looking more and more plausible each day, especially after 2 years of being stiffed on raises and step progressions.
I guess you think those aircraft can unload themselves, the freight then magically sorts itself at hubs and ramps, unlike how it is done in stations, Do you believe that?
While this magic is being performed couriers are busy picking up freight, all over the world, only to come off of your trucks, be sorted and loaded into uld's to be magically sorted at the ramp then later at Indy, Oakland, Newark, Memphis and all ramps. Do you get the picture?
If you don't I can add a few more problems Express would have.
I never said the employees would ever do it, quite frankly I stated they are like herding cats.
I simply said that would be the only way to get their attention and force them to recognize You, the idle airport worker and later idle couriers.
A union will never be voted on, much less voted in. You can do all the social media you want, but it will never happen, the only possible way is the one I described.
Work your way through the steps I've described, tell me exactly how Fedex could make it through one day or night sort.
It's the only way, they would have to be brought to their knees and quickly. To take a term from the company, "It's only business."
This can all be done under the RLA, no need to have the trucking segment reclassified.
Do it your way, it will never happen I don't care how many progressions they skip.

Just my two cents worth.
