[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1106168, member: 24302"] Yes, after trying to organize FedEx he determined he better get out as quickly as possible. And that's what he wants for us. I'm not being anti-union, just fed up with the notion that the Teamsters will come to our rescue if we stick our necks out and risk our livelihoods. But Van, so what if you lose your job, you'll be helping others! I'm sorry, not going to risk my paycheck to get a situation where the most senior benefit the most, after much considered negotiating, and mid-range get left in the cold. That's essentially what happened in '97-'98, could have gotten a union in, topped out employees were mollified with substantial raises, and the rest of us since then have been told to eff off if we don't like it. And we're all paying now because of it. And things are very different now. FedEx has pretty much gotten the government to turn it's back on us, and it's glaringly apparent that there's not a snowball's chance in hell of getting a union in. The Teamsters were allied with UPS in attempting to get FedEx off the RLA. They both wanted and desperately needed our membership. So why since the FAA bill was passed have they gone completely off the radar? They know it's hopeless. They still want and need us but it's damn near impossible under the law to get us. It's not about them wanting to just focus on UPS. We're being sold false hope by a false messiah. A world class troll. Prove me wrong! [/QUOTE]
