Fedex punks Big labor: The tide keeps turning against Card Check
By Kevin “Coach” Collins
In a March 18, essay this column pointed to the victory over Big Labor’s Stalinist Card Check scheme predicting it would be the first sign the tide is turning against the lazy greedy thugs that run labor unions. The next sign of eventual victory for the American consumer and American business is here.
In a sure indication that America’s business interests have drawn a line in the sand and will not be bullied by Labor, Fedex, the Memphis based package delivery giant, has made a major announcement. It will consider canceling its plans to purchase up to 30 new Boeing cargo planes if the Democrat controlled Congress passes the union’s card check scheme which would lead to unionization of Fedex’ s workers.
As predicted the power the Democrats were handed last November went directly to their heads and they over reached, The Union/Democrat crime family was sure they would waltz into Congress on Tuesday March 10, and walk out with Card check in their pocket. But a wonderful thing happened. We shouted to Congress, it had better not pass this pile of crap or it would pay the price next year.
Chief Union thug Jimmy Hoffa junior (now there’s a pedigree) smugly asked, “ Since when is the secret ballot a basic tenet of democracy?”
Well Jimmy boy if you didn’t get the lesson about the sacredness of the secret ballot when the Democrats backed down, Fedex is sending you another one.
Fedex didn’t become a mega business by backing down from challenges. Fedex just punked you and your street thug pals.
Fedex executives aren’t afraid of you or your Democrat lackeys. They will not be bullied into unionization which they know will kill their business. You think you know what hardball negotiations are but you don’t: watch and learn.
The evil regime has some cracks and this is a big one. We MUST win this card check fight if we are to save our country. When you have a choice use Fedex and encourage others to do the same. Send Fedex a note of support.

I erred when I cited Jim Barksdale as a person to contact. He is no longer with FEDEX. Mr. Frederick W. Smith is in charge of FEDEX now.
The Collins Report has received a note from Mr. Joel Townsend a veteran FEDEX project manager that reads in part: “If anyone wants to send a note of encouragement to FedEx over this issue, the proper email address would be: mediarelations@fedex.com.
Thank you Mr. Townsend
