[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 863379, member: 12508"] Back in the 90's, the AFL/CIO was also interested in organizing Express. As far as I know, they've never been interested since. Unfortunately, the Teamsters are the only game in town for now, and they are pathetically inept. One would think that an organization needing both our people and dollars would be more action-oriented and competent. Had the Teamsters actually put forth a decent organizing effort, Fred would have a major problem on his hands right now. Like I said, it's obvious that they don't understand our situation, and until they do, Fred is going to have his way with us. Bend over and grab those ankles, especially after the Democrats kiss his ring in September and dis-allow the modifications proposed to the RLA. Oh, and did you know that Express is already designing a Ground/Express integrated dispatch for all of those E2 and XS pickups that Ground will be getting? Also, don't be surprised if some of those Ground trailers with rollers (for containers) start re-appearing in the very near future. My guess is that they are stored somewhere until the changeover takes place. That would seem to indicate that Fred might be trying to get rid of the RTD's by replacing their job function with Ground contractors (at least the E2 and XS freight). [/QUOTE]
