A win for FedEx Freight drivers!

The organizing of Express has stalled because of the RLA and you know it. What happens at Express doesn't change anything.

It has stalled but not dead and you know it.

Stalled is the word I used, so yes, I know it. But as I said, it doesn't change the RLA.

Just the way you like it, huh?

Unionizing Fed ex is very important to any UPSer......they will demand higher wages and better benefits through the Union.....thus Fed x must raise there shipping rates and get close or higher than UPS's creating more volume for UPS and More Full time jobs!!!

It's only one terminal so far. If costs go up better bet that FedEx will take it out of the Express couriers' hides before they raise rates.

Not necessarily. Prove me wrong.

They are already finding out the hard way there's a price to pay for that philosophy.

Out of curiosity and hypothetically speaking..... If you were an Express courier and the Teamsters approached you, would you fill out a union card?

Probably not. I have a wife and three kids.

They might not touch the minuscule raises, but there are benefits they could go after. Newhires won't know any better, and if senior couriers quit they get replaced with cheaper employees. It's a win-win for the company. In a competitive environment they have to keep prices as low as possible

They are losing people faster than they can replacement them. I think anymore cuts Will do more harm than good.

I think that tipping point is closer then they think. At least if they still want to claim fedex as a "service" company.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

I believe Fed Ex tractor drivers are already union. Freight is new

Nope, freight would be the first drivers to go union.

Well, maybe the rest will fall in line now. Level the playing field. Then get rid of the railroad act
