I was a contractor. I do know how this sh*& works and YES YOU CAN UNIONIZE. Stop making excuses for this greedy ass corporation, BAND TOGETHER AND DEMAND CHANGE! Don't you realize you have far more power than you think if you all stand together? Someone just needs to start the ball rolling. Stand for something or fall for anything should be your mantra if you are not willing to fight for change.
I'm an Express employee, and it's virtually impossible for us to unionize. As for Ground, any union would have to deal with contractors, not FedEx itself. Why would contractors unionize against FedEx? And how could they, they work on a contract, they aren't employees. Employees of contractors who tried to unionize would be out on their can in a heartbeat. Buy a clue.
