[QUOTE="quadro, post: 799352, member: 12850"] When the language was inserted into the 1996 FAA Reform Act it really didn't change anything as all it did was revert Express to coverage under the RLA which is where they had been since the beginning except for a very short period of time leading up to the 1996 Act. You have no idea what I know and don't know. It's your opinion that Express would be union and I'm not here to tell you your opinion is right or wrong. I will ask you, however, to think about it this way. A union would absolutely love to get Express on board. The boost in their income would make it a good business decision for them. I have no doubt that there are employees at Express who would absolutely welcome the union and that's their choice. Given the recent change in the RLA in regards to the majority vote, you have to ask yourself why no union is making a push for this. Look at it from the union's point of view. They are a business and like any business they determine where and when to invest their money. Apparently, they don't see the ROI right now. Meaning that they presumably are not confident that even with the change in the RLA, they can get enough votes to win and offset their expenses in mounting a campaign. So it doesn't matter whether I think Express employees are happy, sad, want a union, don't want a union, etc, etc. It's pretty clear that [B]the unions[/B] don't think that anywhere near enough Express employees want a union, especially as they don't even have to get 50% + 1 of the entire class.
