[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 952198, member: 12508"] [b]Re: The Mouth of HATE SPEECH says something even more ridiculous on the AIR![/b] The RLA is like an anti-union insurance policy. The pilots are a relatively small, well-educated group, and they were smart enough to do what needed to be done. The difference between and NLRA and RLA classification is huge, and makes unionization at FedEx almost impossible. The Teamsters aren't willing to do anything to support us, which is a big problem. The very mention of a union at FedEx is enough to get you targeted for termination. It's illegal, but it doesn't stop them. I was talking about Ground [B]drivers,[/B] not contractors (ISPs'). Of course your contractor buddy is happy. He's probably making a mint. The drivers are not. Ask [B]them [/B]how they like it. When I drove RTD for FedEx I always went in and helped load, and so did the other drivers. Drop and hooks were very rare, and still are. When I was at UPS, it was drop and hook all night long from the rail yards, and then build a set and drop it at a center. [/QUOTE]
