[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 4796764, member: 49065"] I vaguely remember around 2010 signing a petition to allow FedEx employees the opportunity to join a Union or Not, both the Teamsters and UPS were in agreement over lobbying Washington to change their exemption and change them to be under the NLRA. Obama was in office at the time and both parties thought that it might go through, it did not. These union free corporations will continue to run the show no matter who is in office, that is one of the problems with our current Labor laws and Federal agencies that govern American workplaces, it isn't a even playing field, the pendulum has swung to far on the Big Business end and all labor unions are reduced to pandering to the corporate interests. Back in the day with UPS all it took to become a Collective Bargaining employee was to sign a union card, we had Clerks do it back in the early 70's. Now it appears that the Union Leadership in every level are scared of offending Corporate UPS if they even tried to organize non union employees within our "Closed" Shop. How are they going to organize outside a "Closed" shop and require new Collective Bargaining agreements? There will be a change in leadership once Hoffa retires, maybe things will change with this pandemic shock that occurred in the American work environment that will give a boast to all unions to get back to their missions statements and roots instead of playing patty cake with these corporations just to get along. :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
