[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1104784, member: 22880"] Herding cats.... It could be done, its not likely, but it is definitely within the realm of possible IF the Couriers ever realize that they need to forget about the petty stuff, and focus on the ONE item which would have a monumental impact of Express - that is signing those representation cards. Fifty Couriers, each in different stations, could start enough of a movement in getting rep cards signed and then (this is the IMPORTANT thing), contacting another like minded Courier in a nearby station to start the same sort of organizing. Call it 'multi-level marketing', call it what you will. By using the concept of geometric progression, those 50 Couriers could in 6 months time, have 300-500 Couriers all working (in different stations), getting out cards and getting people to send them in. It could be done, but it will all have to start with those 50 Couriers getting out cards and then going to the effort to make a contact at a neighboring station and have that person do the same there - and continuing to build that informal grassroots network. If there were 400 Couriers (each in a separate station), able to get 25 Couriers each to sign and send in those cards (that's 10,000 cards), the IBT would automatically step in and get some 'formal' organization behind the effort to get the rest of the way. I recall there are around 600 stations in the US, with an average of 50 Couriers in each (if there is more current info, put it up), so getting two-thirds of stations to each have an average of one-half of their Couriers sign cards would get to that 10,000 point. It's not impossible, it will just take those 50 or so Couriers to get the ball rolling and instead of submitting leads for Fred, putting their effort into gathering signatures and building organization for THEMSELVES. To me, it is a no-brainer, but then again, most don't think like I do. [/QUOTE]
