[QUOTE="BrownSuit, post: 417879, member: 14437"] FedEx Express was organized as an airline and falls under the Railway Labor Act, whereas FedEx Ground was organized as a Common Carrier and falls under the National Labor Relations Act. Basically if you want to Unionize FedEx Express you have to go to the entire company, whereas FedEx ground, you can go one terminal at a time. The problem with that is that there is nobody to unionize, keep in mind they are all "Independent Contractors". The only thing that FedEx Ground owns are the trailers that the packages are moved in and the buildings that everything is housed in. Everything else is owned by the employees. This is why the Teamsters wants them to be recognized as employees as it opens the door for unionization. That and FedEx has a large surplus in their Pension Fund which would cover Central States and other pensions that aren't in that great of shape these days. [/QUOTE]
