[QUOTE="Reality Bites, post: 266137"] the RLA is exactly the problem. The short version is that several issues need to be resolved. With the merger of FedEx and RPS (FedEx Ground), plus Home Delivery, you have several entities that can be a significant roadblock to unionization. One Scenario: Teamsters spend $$$ organizing at FedEx and amass enough to schedule an election. FedEx ends the separation of FedEx Ground and brings everything under one roof. Teamsters start at square one. $$$ wasted. It's very expensive and difficult to organize under the RLA. The Teamsters are coming, it's only a matter of time. Right now it's through the backdoor at FedEx Ground trying to decide the contractor issue once and for all. That may be the best way to get to FedEx Express. In the past the AFL/CIO hasn't spent as much time and money as they should on organizing, preferring to spend it on lobbying. I believe the move to Change to Win will have a major effect on unionization in general and hopefully FedEx will be a significant part of that. [/QUOTE]
