It still amazes me how powerful the purple juice is. I'll make 85k-90k this year with free health care, dental and vision and Ups still makes billions a year. FredEx is drinking mai tais with the politicians all the while enjoying his chinese like labor force. No doubt he's pulling off one of the biggest corporate labor scandals in history. Lube up or step up and do something about it.
The issue within Express, is that there are just enough purple KoolAid drinkers, part-time Couriers passing through, and topped out Couriers that don't want to rock to boat - to prevent any real organizing from taking place. The only thing those in Express can do is either "lube up", or make an exit plan - there are just a bit too many who are either intoxicated on purple KoolAid or like the way things are, to have a remote chance of getting "something done".
And yes, the IBT isn't doing much either right now, they are trying to keep their current membership happy and don't want to expend anything on trying to "grow" membership.
