[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 695694, member: 22662"] The RLA exemption is fair, it could be argued, because the structure of Express is such that probably over 90% of it's freight is moved through the air. Changing the exemption and thus the labor laws could very well put Express at a competitive disadvantage with UPS if for the next 10 years Express can't tell customers which areas and zip codes they can or can't service due to labor disputes. Therefore, as far as unionizing goes, it has to be all or nothing. The Ground "scam" is actually a legitimate business model. I would be willing to bet that the only reason UPS does not at least partially employ a similar model is because of the Union. If Fedex holds a competitive advantage because of this, it is only because UPS has agreed with an outside entity (Union) not to make use of such a business practice. [/QUOTE]
