[QUOTE="njdriver, post: 73439, member: 4596"] Hello everyone. I am a recently terminated FedEx Home Delivery driver out of the Barrington NJ terminal. The NLRB does indeed oversee FedEx Ground in that they will respond to any petitions filed with them as to proper worker classification. Although not necessarily a Teamster supporter or basher, their hands were tied somewhat by FedEx. The NLRB ordered election at the Fairfield NJ terminal was a NO vote for the Teamsters, thus effectively ending any in-roads they might have made there. In our terminal the vote was not for the Teamsters, but rather an in-house group of concerned drivers, known as the FXG-HD Driver's Association. Although we won the vote 14-8, FedEx has continued to file challenges to the election itself, hoping to have the results tossed out. We are currently waiting on that decision from the NLRB. Even then, FedEx has intimated they will never sit down at a bargaining table with the Association. Since the petition with the NLRB was filed earlier this year, our terminal has become a veritable battleground, with a total of 7 drivers being terminated for various reasons. Each of the 7 terminated drivers are Association members and lawsuit supporters, and unfair labor charges of wrongful termination have been filed with the NLRB. We are currently waiting for their decision in that regard as well. If the terminations are found to have been retaliatory in nature, the NLRB could issue an injunction against FedEx, in order to preserve the integrity of our successful vote. As a former insider, and one who is part of the NJ class-action, I would be more than happy to share my views further, or to answer any questions you might have about the FedEx shake-up. You may also find the following website helpful. [URL="http://www.fedexaminer.com"]http://www.fedexaminer.com[/URL] It details the FedExperience from both sides, and will provide a deeper glimpse into exactly what is at stake. Thanks for listening.
