[QUOTE="OptimusPrime, post: 1011543, member: 35063"] Feel free to point out anything I say that's wrong. IIRC how it was explained to me was that because Fedex is classified as airline. Because of that they fall under the [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Railway Labor Act, unlike UPS, who falls under the [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]National Labor Relations Act. With that, they cannot unionize on a national level, it would have to be center by center, or whatever they call their buildings. And with it being so small scale, they would essentially have zero leverage against the company. UPS made a push a few years ago trying to get Fedex reclassified. Fedex tried to spin it that we were looking for a Federal bailout. Here is a VERY biased article talking about it.
