[QUOTE="fedx, post: 5468167, member: 64891"] Freight can unionize which is why they pay so well. They can unionize by individual location and not nationally. So in other words, there are some unionized Freight locations. Maybe not a lot, but there are a few. Anyway, because that threat to unionize is there, they pay well just to keep the union out. I think they are worried about unionization a lot more than you think. If FedEx's RLA protection went away, I can guarantee you instantly pay would go up just based on the potential threat that Express could unionize. They would raise the pay just to keep the union out. I know Freight dockworkers make like $7 or so more dollars per hour than Express warehouse workers. Why? Because Freight dockworkers can unionize and Express can't. [/QUOTE]
