[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1106203, member: 24302"] R1a just told you the Teamsters are the only union that will even consider rank and file Express employees for a union. They were there with UPS 2009-2010 fighting the good fight to get us organized. Where are they now? Why don't they return calls? Now he's saying they don't have to do anything, it's up to us to get it done for them. Really? Not one phone call returned? No words of encouragement? No "If we see some positive numbers from you guys we'll get some people out to pass out cards and flyers." And they were totally discouraged because some FedEx handlers let them down? Those handlers weren't under the RLA for one thing. And the Teamsters have been around for how long? How many companies have they organized? How many attacks by company goons have they endured in the past? And yet we are to believe they got turned off to the whole FedEx idea because some handlers were bought off? Without Congessional support to get us out of the RLA we are going nowhere. We're supposed to keep trying for years and years? If the Express Employees Relief Act had been passed we'd have local unions in quite a few stations by now. 5 years from now Express will be considerably smaller and FedEx can bust union attempts by firing organizers and putting manifests into the hands of newhires with the DRA. If even 5 years. If the Teamsters are our only hope then there's little hope at FedEx Express. [/QUOTE]
