[QUOTE="FedEx courier, post: 672548, member: 23267"] "If it is so difficult for employees to unionize under the RLA why are a higher percentage of RLA covered employees union versus the number of NLRA employees. And without checking my posts, I'm pretty sure I didn't say that it was easy to unionize. Logistically there are many hurdles especially when most of the employees probably don't want a union. If the IBT thought that there was enough support they would spend the money and launch a full fledged campaign. What I probably said was something along the lines of employees could easily get a union if they wanted." I've read this argument before on the actual FedEx blog site. If most of the employees don't want a Union then why would FedEx care what classification was changed. It wouldn't matter because the employees wouldn't unionize. Right now FedEx can easily target and eliminate such a movement for a Union that you speak of. You can be fired for anything without representation. The employees know that they can be eliminated easily right now because FedEx has ensured that there isn't any Union threat whatsoever. FedEx was the one who originally lobbied to be classified under the RLA for this reason. As far as answering your idea that employees will lose what they have under Union representation I would say look at what a UPS driver has and compare it. At FedEx right now an employee doesn't have a fair grievance process, it takes many years to top out compared to a UPS employee, you have absolutely no job security(ops managers are judge jury and executioner),ect.... It is age discrimination if you put standards on an employee that they aren't physically able to meet because of their age and punish that employee for not meeting those standards.
