[QUOTE="quadro, post: 672557, member: 12850"] Don't know for sure but an educated guess would be that if it's true that most don't want a union, under the NLRA the actions of a few could cause problems for the many. At least under the RLA, if a union is voted in it is likely that any job action would be supported by more than just a few. And so did UPS at one time, so what's your point? If FedEx had as much revenue as UPS does I'd be more inclined to agree with you. Neither one of us knows for sure what would or would not happen. I don't begrudge you for trying and support you in your beliefs. I just don't happen to agree with them. Just because FedEx has been sued, doesn't prove your point. There are many people over 40 that are equally, if not more so, capable of doing the courier job than those under 40. This is evidence that the job can be done by people over 40. I took your advice and Googled and here's a link for you to read that explains age discrimination. [URL]http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/qanda.html[/URL] If FedEx required older employees to do more than younger ones, that would be discriminatory. Requiring the same is fair and equal treatment, not discrimination. I already said I am a courier. Just because a make a valid point doesn't make me a manager. [/QUOTE]
