Dear Rudy,
Anti-worker legislators are quietly pushing to count non-voters as "no" voters in union elections.
If they succeed, it will be much more difficult for workers to form unions.
The only votes that should count are votes that are actually cast!
Send your message to Congress now – they could vote as soon as WEDNESDAY.
We've just received word – anti-worker legislators in the House are about to make it much more difficult for railway and airline employees to form unions.
House Transportation Chairman John Mica – who has taken more than $620,000 in campaign contributions from the airline industry – quietly slipped a provision into FAA reauthorization legislation that would count non-voters as "no" voters in union elections.1
So even if there are more "yes" votes than "no" votes, the "yeses" could still lose. Can you think of any other election that works that way?
It's as outrageous as it is shamefully undemocratic. Congress could vote on the provision as soon as WEDNESDAY – we need to make sure they know Americans are actually paying attention!
Tell your representative: The only votes that should count are votes that are actually cast!
Last year, the National Mediation Board established rules based on fundamental fairness and democratic principles for workers in the rail and airline industry. Now, those workers have the right to vote "yes" for a union or "no" against it.
Think how every vote you've participated in works – from PTA meetings to Congressional elections. All the ballots are counted, and whichever side gets the majority of votes wins. Simple. Fair. Democratic.
But Rep. John Mica (R-FL) is trying to change all that. Instead of allowing those who participate to decide the election, Rep. Mica wants to require super-majority participation and assign meaning to votes that aren't cast.
We know what will happen if he's successful. Fraud. Worker intimidation.
Just think if members of Congress needed a majority of ALL constituents to get elected!
A Cornell University study found unscrupulous employers use this twisted logic to suppress worker votes under the proposed system.2 So it's critical that we stop anti-worker lawmakers from turning back the clock on progress.
Remember – the vote could come as soon as WEDNESDAY – your representative needs to hear from you TODAY!
Urge your representative to preserve fair elections. Send your message now, before they vote!
Thanks for all that you do for workers' rights.

Snapshot Equals Constructive Termination
: Fedex wastes of money due to snapshot
Global Sourcing: Standards for worldwide partners
Snapshot of a Global Compliance Audit
A Global Compliance auditor or third-party auditor arrives unannounced at a randomly chosen company. He or she, accompanied by the manager, walks through the company for a full day, recording observations and responses to more than 400 questions; pointing out immediately correctable issues; reviewing job title information, plus personnel records and wages; and interviewing employees privately.
The auditor then recaps findings and corrective actions with the manager and human resources representative. Our analysts ask for a resolution plan and deadline, and a follow-up audit determines whether corrective actions have been taken; if not, the corporate is charged for audit costs. If a corporate is in compliance by the third audit, corporate enforce productivity in that facilities for a year.
To keep our team members and third-party auditors safe, any severe violations i.e., bribery, illegal transshipment, corporal punishment or underage labor that would cause immediate termination of a corporate relationship are not disclosed to the corporate manager by the auditor.
( in other words CONSTRUCTIVE TERMINATION WAYS,... THERE IS YOUR PROOF!!!! CALL YOUR LAWYERS)

US Uncut / FedEx (Secondary Target)
When it comes to paying their fair share of taxes, FedEx simply does not deliver. When FedEx made $1.9 billion in profits, they managed to pay less than .0005% of it in taxes by using 21 tax havens. FedEx also spent 42 times (4200%) more on lobbying Congress than they did in taxes.
When FedEx does not deliver on its fair share of taxes, we are forced to cut $373 million in teacher training programs (Americorp).
VS.
Do we want thousands of American leaders trained to be the next generation of teachers, or do we want to allow FedEx to be a corporate tax dodger? It is clear which is better for our country’s future.
Billionaire corporations profit from the system of public services set-up by the government. It only makes sense for them to pay their fair share, just like everyone else. No corporation is an island, even if they hide all their profits in tropical tax havens.
FedEx is as guilty as the rest - Go tell them it’s time to Pay Up! Those who don’t have a Bank of America branch nearby, head out to your nearest Verizon wireless store and peaceably but firmly protest. Let their employees know that our country’s future is critical to their future too.
