[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1076404, member: 13921"] Who would you suggest stand out by every FE facility to hand out and collect those cards????? and how many days should someone stand by each gate????? I really do not think you understand, so I will explain it. 51% of EVERY eligible employee through out the country has to vote yes in order to certify the union. Non-voters count as a 'no' vote. Think about that for a couple of minutes. The Teamsters would need to have someone at EVERY station in the country during every shift change. Keep in mind that the Teamster would not be allowed on FE property, so he/she would need to find a safe place to legally hang out. You are telling me, that more than 51% of your fellow workers (including PT) would welcome a union???? UPS bought Overnite from the Union Pacific (Overnite was not a union company, but the UP is, go figure). UPS signed an agreement with the Teamsters shortly after buying Overnite that they would not oppose organizing. Years later, every terminal is not organized. There are many people that speak very eloquently about not needing a union. They are horribly wrong, but because they are well-respected, many follow them along. Plus and this is huge, how many employees are in RTW states??? I have found that many, if not most, non-union people in an RTW state are anti union. It is purely anecdotal, but it does seem like RTW = sheeple MR FE, if you contact your local Teamsters hall and ask them to support a card check effort. See what they have to say. Bet it is similar to what I posted. Business has stacked the deck so high, that it was almost easier to organize at the turn of the last century. [/QUOTE]
