[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 974256, member: 24302"] I'm talking about FedEx employees talking about unionizing, not the company. And I've worked all over the country although I haven't worked in the Rust Belt and my Northeast experience was limited to the wealthiest area of Connecticut. There's just no push for unions across the Sunbelt amongst FedEx workers that I've seen. I've been the most vocal advocate in those places and most coworkers look at me like I'm foolish to speak openly about it. I've pretty much given up since the FAA bill went through without the Express Workers Relief Act attached to it. And since the economy fell through people seem very reluctant to be vocal about much of anything. And while a few here have managed to land a better job, all 3 worked at that plant and were laid off. Went back as soon as they could but there doesn't appear to be much if any opportunity to get on there. The economy won't be bad forever, and Express employees still far outnumber Ground employees. If FedEx thinks they can find enough people to sacrifice for them, especially in better times, then have at it. I'm sure there are 10's of thousands of folks willing to exist for the company's benefit, work much harder than the $12hr job down the street, and think they sure are lucky. [/QUOTE]
