[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 816449, member: 16651"] Actually, I suspect that if more workers were allowed the choice of whether they WANTED to be in a union or not, there would be a lot LESS in unions. There's a reason why unions don't want "RTW" laws to pass, or allow any legislation that would afford them less than sole-representation status....and it's NOT because they think individual workers would sign-up voluntarily. Rather, they know that, if granted the choice, droves of those who are now compelled in one fashion or another to "belong" would drop-out quicker than you could say "dues". As for FedEx drivers, most of the ones I've talked to knew quite well which side their bread was buttered on...and they also were quite aware what would happen to their jobs if their employer was put on the same footing as UPS. And as lousy as you think they feel they feel their jobs are, from what I've seen, they prefer having them over not; they're most assuredly not prepared to throw them away for the sake of "organization".
