[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1105336, member: 12508"] I agree that just talking about signing cards means nothing. So does talking about gumming-up the operation, or doing it stupidly. Intelligent action is required...action that makes the FedEx system work inefficiently. We need WDL's, RDL's and service failures, along with poor customer service. I think hypohanna has it just about right, which means overloading them incrementally until it causes the "mother ship" to implode or otherwise breakdown. This is totally doable, and nobody needs to get fired. In fact, for many people, it will actually add hours to their paychecks. Working as directed, doing everything by the book, and just plain slowing down (implicit in both of these strategies) will cause significant problems. No, it won't cause Express to go under, but it will "threaten profits" and show productivity losses when Wall Street and industry analysts are expecting productivity gains. The greatest imperative is to actually sign a card, and convince others that they need to sign them too. Nothing will ever go our way until Fred S is forced to negotiate with us. Right now, he doesn't need to, so he won't, and Memphis will double-down on efforts to make us comply. All anyone really needs to understand about Smith and Express is that we need to force them into a situation where they have no choice but to bargain with us. That means a union, plain and simple. No cards, no union, and the status quo of abuse continues unabated. [/QUOTE]
