[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1143180, member: 24302"] As long as I'm being told that I'm a cowering wimp for just doing my job I'm going to speak up. All the belly aching on this forum hasn't gotten us any closer to a union, and I'm not going to give anyone false hope that we can get one. Name these places that are unskilled or semi skilled. There has to be certain circumstances that would give them leverage in a strike, such as garbage collectors. Anyone can deliver packages and FedEx can order striking workers to either return to work or be fired, although that may be in accordance with a particular state's laws. You may not have to have a specific skill to organize but in Fed's case your skill is easily replaced. And to organize you are pretty much going to have to get us out of the RLA and until you do y'all can talk about signing cards all you want you just aren't going to get a vote. That's not fear mongering, just the hard truth. If it weren't the truth MFE and R1a wouldn't be sneering at all of us spineless wimps. The one thing that will make a difference is if working class people everywhere divest themselves from their 401k plan as it cuts off the lifeblood of the system that's screwing all of us. Divesting from stocks forced white South Africans to give up apartheid and it's really the only language the rich understand. Those that make money from such a system have no moral authority to tell us we're cowards if they refuse to sacrifice themselves. [/QUOTE]
