[QUOTE="grami72, post: 284599, member: 772"] I believe air and ground are primarily kept seperate because the express drivers have historically been covered by the Railway Labor Act which makes it very difficult to unionize them. The entire "craft" would have to vote to become unionized, which means a nationwide election. Very difficult for the Teamsters to do, and they don't seem to want to. The ground drivers are covered by the National Labor Relations Act, where each location can have a seperate vote as to whether or not they want to join a union. That is why it is important for FDX to keep up the sham that they are independent contractors, not employees. [/QUOTE]
