Most everything in the bill passed except for the RLA courier section.
I recently spoke with a local fedex employee, and this topic came up. I was told by said fedex employee that this bill was going to force fedex to go all union, but I explained to him how it actually worked. Either he didn't understand it or this was the result of the fedex propaganda machine at work.Lets hope that language gets reinserted.
Well one group @ FDX is unionized, the most powerful workgroup there.
I have a friend who is a SWA FO, and he makes peanuts.
I believe the only reason for the pilots being union is that it was part of the deal when Fed-X bought what was left of Flying Tigers.
I could be wrong.
They have always been union, the FT purchase caused intergration of seniority. Dovetailing of seniority is always the thing that happens but it should be paste the bought company on the bottom, but that DAMN RLA of 1929 suggests dovetailing. What a crock this RLA of 1929. When UPSCO was formed we had a big issue with seniority and as we all know it is the only thing you have at UPS.
