[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 552142, member: 13921"] It's funny to me that most people seem to think that a change in the RLA rules would mean immediate unionization of FedEx. Right to work states might not see an organizer for years. If the rules change, I would bet that it takes a year to identify the 1st station to organize, a year to get it done and another year to get a contract (maybe more, look at Overnite Transportation, owned by Union Pacific, a union railroad.) I would almost bet that if the RLA is changed and IF a station is organized, that Fred himself would sit in on negotiations. I'd also bet that it will/would not be pretty. Once that happens, then start getting card checks at other stations. Problem is, 3-5 years later is enough time to integrate the networks. If I were a FedEx employee, I would be concerned for my future. Not because FedEx may go out of business, but because they may embrace the IC for all their operations. [/QUOTE]
