 THIS IS TO GET OUR CLASS AND CRAFT DESIGNATED. IF THE NMB FEELS LIKE WE DO THAT WE SHOULD BE IN OUR OWN CLASS AND CRAFT AND WE COLLECT 50% CARDS WE CAN CALL FOR WHAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE RIGHT TO DO IN THIS COUNTRY CALL FOR AN ELECTION!!!!!

I HAVE PEOPLE THAT WON'T SIGN BECAUSE IF WE COLLECT 50% THEN WE CAN HAVE THAT ELECTION. THEY BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE OUR OWN CLASS AND CRAFT BUT  NOT THE RIGHT TO LET MAJORITY RULE. AS A VETERAN I FIND THAT SICK AND A SORRY EXCUSE.

HERE IS THE BEST WAY I CAN EXPLAIN WITHOUT WRITING A BOOK BECAUSE IT IS SO COMPLICATED BY RAILWAY ACT RULES. 

I have been asked to explain what we are doing this time and what is different from the other times. I hope I can put this clearly enough that when I call your station and leave a message to go to www.fedxmx.blogspot.com  this will answer any questions. I plan on trying to call as many out stations as I can and let them know of this site if they don't know already. It would take to long to explain what we have done and what we are doing now in order to get more cards.

Ever since FedEx had their own special law passed back in 1997 which put them under the railroad act that is for airlines and railroads. If you wanted to vote in a third party to represent you this law makes it almost impossible to do because you have organize nationally instead of locally if you were under the National Labor relations board. UPS since they started as a trucking company fell under the NLRB which was much easier at the time to organize locally with the rules they have to go by. FedEx put us under the Railway act because they knew it would be almost impossible to organize with so many employees all over the country. Not only does that make it difficult you have no idea who you have to collect cards from.
The Pilots because of what they do the company felt that they are in their own class and craft so all they had to do was collect 50% cards from only the pilots and then be able to have a democratic election for union representation.
We on the other hand due to other airlines having put their mechanics with baggage handlers and cleaners and anyone who worked around or on the aircraft set presidence that it should be that way with us. I feel as many others that we are not like other airlines that carry passengers and we don't have baggage handlers and we should be in our own class and craft. As with the pilots we carry airman certificates and with our A/P and FCC license's it should be a no brainer that no one else does what we do. Unless we ever get that officially designated through the National Mediation Board on this matter, every attempt at organizing at FedEx after 1997 was not going to happen.
I started last July 4th trying to spread the word with only this website and word of mouth that we needed to get officially on the record who is in our class and craft. I had to post on here that we only received 500 or so cards and that I was tired of trying to help those who won't try to help themselves. I know the company watches this site because I can track everyone who does and with over 46,000 hits on here they as I believed that we had a great chance of getting this done. I know they know we are very upset over how we have been treated over the years and with loss of benefits and our rules never being the same from person to person. I believe it does not take a rocket scientist to see the reliability numbers show the lousy morale we have. I knew I was playing a game of poker here with them thinking I was holding a royal flush since we had so many hits on here and how upset everyone was. My problem was as we headed into the one year mark when even those cards would expire that I was holding not even a pair of 2's.
When on here I read people saying that word is going around we collected easy over 1500 cards that would have put us way over the 50% mark I had to let out the truth. The truth being we can spread rumors faster and further then we can collect cards to help our own group.
I wrote on here I was done with this. After close to 9 years trying to help those who won't even try to help themselves I was throwing in the towel. I never quit anything but I felt that just by the company thinking all these years that we could stick together that I know stopped them from taking more than they already did. I Know we got our jump seat back and the biggest raises because we had brought President James Hoffa down from Washington and the Teamsters to help change the law I spoke of earlier. This raise I hear we have coming in October, funny how they alway's announced it in October but we never got the money till the next march or later. Many agree with me that this helped and many anti union guys think we got it from the kindness of their hearts.
I wanted to tell them on here I was done and that the Mechanics have spoken and said they must agree with all the changes and decisions you have made here because they would rather have that then someone in their corner fighting for them. I feel horrible for the guy's that did send in their cards and who always stood by me and what I was trying to do.
Right after word got out that we only collected 500 cards (and I made it clear this was just to get class and craft designated no union involvement) I started getting emails and phone calls and comments on here to not give up! That many had admitted that they thought it would be a slam dunk and that so many others would be signing cards hell they won't need mine. Memphis did the worst and that is our biggest station yet the out stations did the most. I got some telling me that they would sign if the Teamsters name was not on the bottom of the card. I find that a weak excuse but hey you never know. I hear what I have to sign another card? yea one once a year, I know that will kill you! I already had two in my shop that never signed said they would with the new card that says FedEx AMT Association instead. Maybe there was some truth to that. I decided to extend this till October 1st and if we don't get 50% I am forever done with ever sticking my dick out to help the AMTs here.
That is it, I will try every weekend to call some stations and leave the website name so no one can say we did not know about this. I have already gotten emails and comments on here that guys are taking control and collecting and passing out cards here in Memphis and Indy and LAX.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BE FUIGM'S ANYMORE!! PRONOUNCED (FYOU-GUMS)
 F&$K YOU I GOT MINE (THEY DIVIDED AND CONQUERED LONG ENOUGH WITH SOME GETTING MORE THAN OTHERS DUE TO TIME AT FEDEX)

ALL I KNOW IS NO MATTER WHAT AFTER OCTOBER 1ST IF WE ARE NOT CLOSE I WILL SHUT THIS SITE DOWN AND LET FEDEX KNOW THE MAJORITY SEE'S IT YOUR WAY.
