[QUOTE="oldrps, post: 1869158, member: 36765"] Just because employee's go union is not a guarantee of more pay or anything. That has to be negotiated in the contract. Let's say a contractor's drivers unionize and demand something the contractor can't or won't do. The only power the drivers have is to go on strike. FedEx terminates the contractor for failing to service their area. FedEx does not have to honor the union's demands, they have a contract with the ISP. Enter new contractor, new drivers, no union. Whoever the new contractor is will have to find new drivers. You know FedEx will not allow those "ex" union drivers back onto FedEx property after that. Once other ISP drivers see they won't get much more or lose their jobs, the Teamsters don't have a chance of organizing other ISP's. Why would the Teamsters spend a lot of time and money for this to happen over and over at different terminals around the country? It may be one reason why the Teamsters have not approached the ISP drivers. FedEx will take the contractor concept as far and as long as they can. They will only put on employee drivers when [U]all[/U] contractor options are exhausted. So yes, the contract will always be changing, just like it has since the beginning. [/QUOTE]
