[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 1106189, member: 43825"] All of you need to take a chill pill. Understand one thing organizing a company as large and anti union as FedEx is going to be a long and arduous process. Anyone who thinks or wants otherwise is a fool. If successful it would go down in history as one of the great organizing campaigns. I have been through a successful campaign at a company who was much smaller and on a local level. I was very young and felt I could make a difference. What I did learn is patience. You have to be willing to outlast the company. Not think of it in terms as we have to get this done in one year so I can have a comfortable retirement. It will take longer than 1 year maybe 3 , 4, 5. You have to have the conviction to fight till there is nothing left in the tank. And most of all you have to think in terms as the people you work with who want change are your brothers and sisters. That means not thinking of just yourself but everybody collectively. It takes time to build that trust with your coworkers and time to get your coworkers to understand that organizing is the only way things are going to change for the better. So stop blaming each other, stop blaming the ibt and decide for yourself if you're in this as long as it takes or as soon as it gets a little tough you quit. [/QUOTE]
