[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 782553, member: 24302"] I thought the original act was from the late 1800's or very early 1900's? And that the airlines were added later. And they were added due to their, like the railroads, vital part of the nation's transportation system. They didn't want a wildcat strike in one location holding up a much larger portion of the system. And it was Clinton who signed a law that officially made FedEx a "scheduled airline" thus insuring FedEx would maintain it's status under the RLA. It was an attachment to a larger bill, and Clinton may not have known about it or the implications. What I don't get is why drivers who never touch a plane aren't allowed to unionize but the pilots are. I guess a group of highly paid individuals have more clout than us entry level drones. [/QUOTE]
