[QUOTE="WhatCrass, post: 800041, member: 32493"] I don't think you understand how it would nearly be impossible to form a union at FedEx Express since they are covered by the RLA instead of the NLRB. Say for example warehouse workers at the hub in Providence wanted to join a union. They would have to secretly get at least 30% (but realistically should get 80%) of the workforce to sign a union card in Providence. After all the cards would be verified by the NLRB, there would be a union election in 90 days. At that point FedEx would spend MILLIONS by hiring private union-busting layer firms to go in and scare and intimidate workers from joining a union. If the workers are somehow able to win an election, then the workforce is now unionized. Of course FedEx wouldn't want that so they could simply shut down that hub and divert all the work to other terminals. Needless to say, the union would have to organize almost all the hubs and terminals in that area. Now under the NLRB, the ENTIRE FedEx express company would have thousands of workers sign union cards in secret (which would be practically impossible without the bosses finding out). Trust me, as long as FedEx is spending millions on this "Brown Bailout" campaign to prevent Express from becoming covered by the NLRB which could give the option of them going union. They already bought of their local Democrat politician who represents the area in congress. [/QUOTE]
