FedxMx Blitz At LAX ...

After yesterday meeting at L.A.X, it was great to see that FedEx freight, FedEx ground are not the only organizing drive. Meeting with some of the FedEx Express mechanics from Memphis Tennessee was a great feeling, also seeing employees from Boston Massachusetts, New York, and Florida.
One thing I have to say that it is coming! Seeing the mother company joining the Teamsters is seeing a secured future, and it would not be a surprise if Memphis voted the Teamsters first.

National Misclassification Case Gets Class Certification - October 16, 2007

Well, that didn't take long. On Friday, Judge Miller denied the temporary restraining order requesting he prevent FedEx from firing all single-vehicle drivers in California. So perhaps FedEx lawyers thought they had snapped their losing streak.

They were wrong. On Monday, the same Judge Miller decided the multi-district litigation case can go forward as a class action lawsuit for both the state wage and federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act claims. The whole order is online here - the juicy stuff starts on page 22 following the order including the company's expert report.

I say lets build concentration camps at FedEx Corporation, and our old glory that hangs on the pole on our yards, which represents FREEDOM!!! For 231 years.
Lets hang swastika flags which represent control, communist, telling workers that they can not speak Spanish or any other language on radios is absurd, why do they ask not to speak any other language, because they have guilt conscience or because they think that Hispanic are organizing in codes? In addition, freezing accrued pensions that were earned; and without our approval, that is more communist control by the corporation.
Changing or deducting money from your accrued v-peps without consulting our approvals, that is a thought control by the company.
Now being a member of the Teamsters and having a joint council, the corporation wouldn’t be able to change anything without the Teamsters and members approval, or having a VOTE!!!!
