Except for our pilots FedEx Express is non-union. But consider the way the company behaves, especially surrounding the issue of seniority. If you want a summer vacation, you can forget about it in many stations because senior people have all the slots. How's a nice family vacation in February sound?
Let's talk about being upgraded from PT to FT. Again, it's not about performance, it's all about seniority. The same goes for transfers. You can be an absolutely astounding performer, yet the slug who was hired the year before you gets the job. Route bidding? Same deal. Fair? No, but that's the way it is.
FedEx acts like it is a meritocracy, but the truth is that the company behaves like a union shop in many regards already.
