[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 602197, member: 22880"] The website is for Canadian employees of FedEx, but this may be a way of eventually getting U.S. employees unionized. If Canadian employees were to unionize, it would take a lot of the "fear factor" out of U.S. employees willingness to unionize under RLA. HR 915 is on the back burner right now, but that can change any day. In all likeliehood there will be a flurry of activity the last week of this month. But "informed" sources believe that FedEx will maintain its RLA classification this year. There is too much else going on right now for this battle to be fought in the Senate it seems. In another 10 days this should be settled, so not much more time wondering how it will go... Hopefully the Teamsters will unionize Canadian drivers and use that as a method of getting the critical mass necessary to get unionization done in the US under RLA. Given the bad economy, one would think FedEx wouldn't have much turn-over right now. Doesn't seem to be the case. Quite a few stations have a healthy turn-over going on right now. Many Couriers and even CSAs have had enough and are either retiring or just leaving. The threats of getting that extra stop an hour are now in district news letters. Get the extra stop an hour in order to maintain what pension you have and the hope of a pay raise next year... It will be interesting to see how much leverage FedEx will be able to get with just 2% next March. Most everyone I've talked to locally don't care anymore, so the threats will probably get increasingly strident in the coming months. [/QUOTE]
